ABU DHABI, UAE — The Ministry of Defense of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced on December 30, 2025, that it has voluntarily terminated the remaining Emirati counter-terrorism operations in Yemen. This decision was made just hours after Riyadh called for the full withdrawal of all military and financial support to Yemeni factions.
The UAE"s withdrawal from Yemen marks a significant shift in its military engagement in the region. The UAE had previously been involved in counter-terrorism efforts as part of a broader coalition in Yemen. The termination of these operations reflects changing dynamics in the conflict and regional alliances.
