The United Arab Emirates announced Monday it was reducing the number of troops in war-torn Yemen and shifting from a military strategy to a peace plan.
"We do have troop levels that are down for reasons that are strategic in [the Red Sea city of] Hodeida and reasons that are tactical" in other parts of the country, a senior UAE official told reporters.
"It is very much to do with moving from what I would call a military first strategy to a peace first strategy, and this is I think what we are doing."
