The geospatial intelligence observation unit GEOINT has said that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) continues to build illegal military infrastructure on Yemen’s Socotra archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
According to the GEOINT, the UAE is probably building an airfield at Abd Al Kuri Island (Kilmia), which is a part of the Socotra Archipelago.
“Two runway-shaped strips and a probable apron area have been outlined and graded since the beginning of 2022,” the GEOINT observation added.
