The Southern provinces under the control of the United Arab Emirates’ occupation forces have been witnessing major security chaos, and assassinations carried out by armed factions loyal to the coalition, against Yemeni military and security officers, as well as civilian targets.

Since the UAE forces took over the southern region in 2016, assassinations and security disorder have been rampaging in these provinces.
