DUBAI, Dec ​31 (Reuters) - Oman's foreign minister met his Saudi ⁠counterpart in Riyadh on Wednesday to discuss finding ‍a political solution to ​the crisis in Yemen, Oman's Foreign Ministry said.

The meeting ​came a day after a Saudi-led strike on Yemen's southern port of Mukalla, which ‌raised tensions between Riyadh ‌and the United Arab Emirates.

In ​recent weeks, a Saudi-led coalition has clashed with ‌UAE-backed southern separatists in ⁠Yemen. The UAE has ‌said it ​is ending its remaining military mission there, highlighting ⁠a widening ⁠rift between the Gulf ​allies.
