UAE air strikes kill dozens of Hadi forces in Aden

 ADEN - Dozens of Hadi loyalists  and Islah Party militias  were killed and injured in air strikes waged by UAE’s  fighter jets on military gatherings in the occupied provinces of Aden and Abyan.

Media officials loyal to Saudi-backed government admitted that air raids carried out by the UAE aircrafts  targeted large military gatherings of Hadi forces and Islah militias at the entrances of Aden city and in Zinjbar city of Abyan province, killing dozens, including military leaders, and injuring more than 150 others.

“Today, the UAE is bombing the noblest commanders, like it had already bombed heroes of al-Abr camp and did not apologize,” said Sam al-Ghobari, a pro-Hadi government journalist, on Twitter.

In its first response, Hadi’s government condemned the aerial bombardment launched by the UAE on its government forces in Aden and Zinjbar in Abyan province.

Activists on social media circulated a video documenting the targeting of large military gatherings of Hadi’s forces in Aden by UAE warplanes.
