DID Press: Fighting has intensified between Saudi-backed forces and UAE-supported militias in occupied areas of Yemen’s Hadramawt province. According to reports, troops aligned with the Riyadh-backed local government have halted the advance of UAE-backed forces in the region.

According to local sources, pro-Saudi forces succeeded in taking control of the “First Military Region” headquarters in the city of Seiyun. Observers say this development reflects a growing field-level rivalry and deepening tensions between the two former allies in the anti-Houthi coalition.
