At least eight civilians were killed on Friday in Aden, the temporary seat of Yemen’s internationally-recognized government, amid fighting between southern separatists and government forces, medical sources said. Both are part of the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iran-aligned Houthi movement in Yemen.
Sources told Reuters the minister, Ahmed al-Mayssari, left his home during a lull in fighting the previous night. The separatists and Hadi’s government are nominally united in their battle against the Houthi movement that ousted Hadi from power in the capital Sanaa in late 2014, but they have rival agendas for Yemen’s future.
