Saudi defence minister Prince Khalid Bin Salman on Saturday called on Yemen's main southern separatist group, the Southern Transitional Council, to respond to mediation efforts by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and end an escalation of fighting.
In a post on X, he repeated a call for the STC to withdraw its forces from camps in eastern provinces of Hadramout and Mahra.
