The blasts coincided with anti-aircraft fire from positions surrounding the camp, which is controlled by the "Emergency" forces, triggering widespread panic among local residents.

Reports regarding the cause of the incident remain conflicting. One account suggests that air defenses engaged an unidentified drone hovering over the headquarters, amid unofficial accusations linking the drone to UAE-backed forces.

These developments exacerbate ongoing security tensions driven by widening rifts between Saudi-backed factions ("Emergency" and "Dera al-Watan"). They follow previous armed festivities in Seiyun late last December between Saudi-backed forces and UAE-funded Southern Transitional Council (STC) factions.
