The Saudi Foreign Ministry has released a statement expressing disappointment in actions taken by the United Arab Emirates in pressuring the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Yemen to conduct military operations in the Hadramout and Al-Mahara Governorates of Eastern Yemen, on the southern borders of Saudi Arabia.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia states that they consider the actions a threat to national security, a “red line” and that they will “not hesitate to take all necessary steps and measures to confront and neutralize any such threat,” adding that the steps taken by the UAE are considered highly dangerous and inconsistent with the principles established under the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry ends the statement by calling for the United Arab Emirates to accept the Republic of Yemen's request for all its forces to leave the Republic of Yemen within twenty four hours, and to halt any further military or financial support to any party within Yemen.
