Saudi Arabia said it carried out airstrikes on Yemen’s port city of Mukalla after ships arrived with weapons meant for a separatist force. The Saudi military said the arms were unloaded from vessels that came from Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates. It said the attack was aimed at weapons and combat vehicles and was timed to avoid civilian harm. It was not clear if anyone was hurt. The UAE did not comment on the strike. The move marks a new rise in tension between Riyadh and the Southern Transitional Council, which is backed by the UAE and has seized areas in Yemen’s Hadramout region in recent days. (PC: HT)
