Pro Saudi commander blames UAE for killing his troops

A military commander of Yemen’s pro- Saudi Mansour Hadi group has accused United Arab Emirates of attacks on his troops.
Col Mohamed al-Oban, a commander of the government’s special forces in Abyan province said UAE air force attacked his troops on Thursday.

Furthermore, he said they were heading to the key southern port city of Aden to fight UAE-backed separatists.

But, UAE air strikes killed at least 30 troops to abort their plan.

Although the UAE maintains warplanes as part of the coalition, yet, their officials declined to immediately comment.

Meanwhile, this episode raises concerns on future of Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthis-led Yemen since 2015.

Most importantly, Mansour Hadi also demands end to UAE strikes.
