Yemeni Troops, Backed by United Arab Emirates, Take City From Al Qaeda

Yemini soldiers were able to take back control of the city of Al Mukalla from the Al Qaeda. Little to no firing was done by either side as the Yemini soldiers with the help from United Arab Emirates soldiers drove out Al Qaeda fighters. Al Mukalla had been a very important stronghold for Al Qaeda in the past few years. Up until this point Al Qaeda forces had not seen much opposition from any force, but with the surprise of the United Arab Emirates helping Yemini soldiers, Al Qaeda decided to leave.
