SANA’A – Yemeni separatists have taken effective control of the port city of Aden after days of fighting with troops loyal to the internationally backed government.
Forces aligned with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council – which wants an independent south – said they had seized control of military camps and the presidential palace.
The government said it was a “coup.”
The action has fractured the Saudi-led coalition against Houthi rebels that both sides have fought in. (BBC)
