Al-Qaeda holds drone parade taunting UAE-backed forces in southern Yemen
2023-05-21
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] al-Qaeda organization carried out on Saturday a military parade with drones in the sky of Shabwah province, eastern 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...
, in a move that carried a message, in terms of timing, to the UAE-affiliated factions there.

The organization’s websites published videos and pictures of al-Qaeda members pursuing the UAE-backed "Shabwah Defense" patrols in al-Musaiyna’ district, the most prominent stronghold of the organization.

The pictures show that the organization carried out air strikes targeting Emirati armored vehicles while they were trying to flee.

This is the first time that the organization displays this type of weapon, and it is a step that reveals that the organization, as one of the Saudi-affiliated factions, has obtained drones.
