Reports Allege UAE Provided Intelligence to Houthis Against Saudi-Backed Forces in Yemen
Reports from Drop Site News allege that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has provided intelligence and targeting assistance to Yemen's Houthi rebels in their conflict against Saudi-backed forces. The claims, based on sources familiar with the situation, suggest UAE-aligned Yemeni forces have helped the Houthis identify targets inside Yemen, though the UAE has not confirmed this. This alleged cooperation occurs amid tensions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE over Yemen, with the Houthis expanding control in strategic areas. The UAE has condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and called for stronger Gulf security cooperation.
