Yemen

ADEN, Yemen (AP) — Fighting between their allies in southern Yemen has opened a gaping wound in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates’ coalition against the country’s rebels. If they can’t fix it, it threatens to tear the country apart into even smaller warring pieces.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemeni medics said on Monday they pulled dozens of bodies from the rubble of a Houthi rebel-run detention center that was hit a day earlier by Saudi-led coalition airstrikes, killing over 100 people and wounding dozens.

The attack was one of the deadliest in more than four years of war in Yemen that have claimed tens of thousands of lives, thrust millions to the brink of famine and spawned the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

2 Sep 2019; MEMO: Yemen will take legal measures against the UAE after the Emirates targeted its army, the country’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammed Al-Hadrami said yesterday.

His remarks came during a meeting with the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs Margot Wallstrom in the Saudi capital Riyadh.

TEHRAN, Iran, Sept 2 (NNN-IRNA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry, on Sunday, strongly condemned the deadly airstrikes on a Yemen prison by the Saudi-led coalition.

In a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, said that, “the bombardment of the detention centre was the latest war crime, committed by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.”

The Saudi-led coalition commits these “crimes” by using U.S. and other western countries’ weapons, Mousavi said, adding that, the Yemeni people hold the U.S. and some western countries “responsible for these crimes.”

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen staged multiple airstrikes on a detention center operated by the Houthi rebels in the southwestern province of Dhamar, killing at least 100 people and wounding dozens more Sunday, officials and the rebels’ health ministry said.

SANAA, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- At least 50 prisoners of war were killed when the Saudi-led coalition launched a series of airstrikes overnight on a prison in Yemen's central province of Dhamar, the Houthi-controlled health ministry said in a statement early Sunday morning.

"At least 50 were killed in seven airstrikes by the coalition warplanes against the prison and 100 others wounded, as rescue teams were still searching for possible survivors under rubble," it said, adding that the death toll could rise as many injured are in critical conditions.

ADEN (Reuters) - Southern Yemeni separatists said they arrested dozens of government loyalists in Aden on Saturday after President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi’s forces withdrew from the port city following air strikes by the United Arab Emirates.

The outbreak of hostilities between Yemen’s Saudi-backed government and the UAE-backed separatists is the latest twist in a multi-faceted war in Yemen pitting several factions and armies against each other.

ADEN, Aug 30 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Forces loyal to Yemen’s government have re-entered the southern city of Aden, which they lost to previously allied separatists earlier this month.

Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani said troops and militiamen had taken full control of the city after securing the airport and presidential palace.

But a separatist militia commander said it was still in control of most areas.

The fighting has exposed a rift within the Saudi-led coalition supporting the government in Yemen’s civil war.

29 August 2019; AFP: The Yemen government said it seized back the interim capital Aden on Wednesday, a claim contested by the separatists who took control of the city and other parts of the south earlier this month.

The tussle between the pro-independence Southern Transitional Council (STC) and government troops comes nearly three weeks after the separatists took control of Aden, the government's base since Huthi rebels took over the northern capital Sanaa in 2014.

SANAA, Yemen, Aug 26 (NNN-SABA) – Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed that they fired 10 missiles towards Saudi Arabia’s Jizan airport on Sunday evening, the group’s military spokesman said.

A salvo of 10 Badr-1 ballistic missiles were launched towards Jizan Regional Airport, said Yahya Sarea, in a brief statement.

“The missiles targeted military aircraft and Apache helicopters inside Jizan airport,” he added.
