Airstrikes hit home province of separatist

YEMEN'S Saudi-led coalition attacked the home province of a UAE-backed separatist leader yesterday after he was kicked out of the presidency and accused of "high treason" for attempting to secede.

More than 15 airstrikes hit Dhale, home governorate of Aidaros Alzubidi, whose Southern Transitional Council grabbed swathes of territory last month before seeing the advance rolled back by the coalition and pro-Saudi forces.

Four people were killed in the airstrikes, two hospital sources confirmed.

Alzubidi fled and mobilised "large forces" in Yemen's southwest, around Aden, after failing to attend talks in Riyadh, the coalition said.

The latest developments raise the prospect of a showdown between the UAE-supported STC and pro-Saudi forces around Aden, base of the internationally recognised government since it was ousted from the capital, Sanaa, by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in 2014.
