Algeria is severing diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates after "provocative or hostile" acts by the Gulf state, its foreign ministry said.
"Algeria spared no effort to draw the Emirati side and warned it of the dire consequences that could result from its regrettable and unjustified behaviour," it said.
The statement did not provide any details on why Algeria has taken this step, but relations between the two countries have soured in recent years amid a series of regional disputes.
There has been no direct response from the UAE, but the president's diplomatic advisor said ties are not based on "riddles and signals that require decoding".
"Diplomatic relations are managed through rationality, communication and clarity of interests", Anwar Gargash wrote on X.
While he did not single out Algeria in his post, he said successful diplomacy was built on understanding and management of interests and differences.
"Ambiguity is not a policy, and noise does not compensate for the absence of vision," Gargash added.
