Saudi Arabia bombed Yemen's port city of Mukalla on Tuesday over what it described as a shipment of weapons for a separatist force there that arrived from the United Arab Emirates.

Oman's foreign minister met his Saudi counterpart in Riyadh on Wednesday to discuss finding a political solution to the crisis in Yemen, Oman's Foreign Ministry said.

Yemen declared a state of emergency after Saudi airstrikes on Mukalla targeted UAE-backed separatist forces. Tensions expose growing Saudi-UAE rivalries, escalating regional instability amid broader Red Sea and Houthi conflicts.
