Yemeni government troops backed by Saudi Arabia have retaken a series of provinces from the United Arab Emirates-backed secessionist Southern Transitional Council (STC) as tensions between the regional Gulf Arab powers continue to simmer.
Rashad al-Alimi, head of the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), the internationally recognised government in the splintered war-ravaged nation, said in a statement on Saturday that Saudi-backed Homeland Shield forces had achieved “record success” in “retaking all military and security positions in the province” bordering Saudi Arabia after the operation launched a day earlier.
