Aden clashes continue, Yemen's war becomes more complicated

Published on 10 Aug 2019

Fighting between Yemeni government forces and separatists in the southern port city of Aden continued for a third consecutive day, with reports of at least 20 people killed. The violence in the seat of Yemen's internationally-recognised government threatens to open a new front in the country's devastating war, exposing a rift in a Saudi-led military alliance that has been battling the Houthi rebel movement since 2015. At least five civilians were among the dead and dozens more were wounded in Friday's violence, according to doctors and security officials who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity. Much of the fighting between forces loyal to President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and a United Arab Emirates-backed militia is taking place in some of the city's most populated areas, leading to concerns for the safety of civilians.
