Saudi occupation forces on the Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i island of Socotra have been attacked by unknown assailants on Friday.

Local sources on the island reported that button men in a car heavily shot up soldiers from the Saudi 808 Duty Forces that were stationed near the Hobeik point on the outskirts of Hadibo, the capital of the island. The reports state that the button men may possibly belonged to a UAE-backed militia.

The United Arab Emirates occupation forces in the region have recently pushed elements of its militias to burn all government documents belonging to the Socotra governor, as well as to destroy all administrative offices.

Last year, Emirati forces were able to expel the so-called Saudi 808 Duty Forces from Hadibo Airport, and incited the Southern Transitional Council militia to expel them from the island entirely. The UAE is aiming at a full acquisition and annexation of the island, after they established a joint military base with the Zionist entity’s navy over the past two years.
