A senior Yemeni government official has accused the United Arab Emirates of running secret underground prisons and stockpiling explosives at an air base near Mukalla in southern Yemen. The governor of Hadramout, Salem al-Khanbashi, alleged the UAE committed abuses including enforced disappearances and torture, and that the discovered explosives were intended for assassinations. To support the claims, Yemeni officials published images of the detention facilities and, with Saudi Arabian assistance, flew international journalists to inspect the al-Rayyan airbase. The official vowed to take measures to hold the UAE and its allies accountable for the violations.
