Two Saudi soldiers were assassinated in the Sharurah area near the Saudi-Yemeni border, heightening tensions in the region. Satellite images reveal a secret military airstrip under construction on Zuqar Island off Yemen’s coast, reportedly built by the UAE with Israeli support. Analysts say the facility is designed to counter the Ansarallah movement and the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), while also enhancing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities against Sanaa-based forces. The 2,000-meter airstrip, located 90 km from Hodeidah, has been linked to broader UAE military infrastructure projects. Saudi air defenses have reportedly intercepted several Israel-bound Yemeni ballistic missiles, signaling escalating regional tensions.
