WNAM REPORT: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced Friday evening that it has completed the return of its forces from Yemen.

A Defense Ministry statement said that all Emirati military personnel have returned from Yemen, in coordination with relevant partners.

According to  Agency, it said the termination of the remaining counterterrorism teams in Yemen was of its own free will, “in a manner that ensures the safety of its personnel, and in coordination with the concerned partners.”

The UAE move came following a rift with Saudi Arabia, which accused Abu Dhabi of “pushing STC forces to carry out military operations” along the kingdom’s southern border in Hadhramaut and Al-Mahra. The UAE denied the accusation.
