International media quoted coalition forces as saying that the ships attacked had turned off their tracking systems and were carrying military equipment for the Southern Transitional Council, a separatist force. Although both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates oppose the Houthis, they support different factions against the Houthis. The thing to note is that all this is happening when there is large-scale instability in the Red Sea region.
