Saudi-led coalition launches airstrikes against Yemen separatist group

Saudi-led coalition launches airstrikes on separatists in Yemen

A Saudi Arabia-led coalition has conducted air strikes against secessionist forces in southern Yemen, following the failure of their leader to attend peace talks in Riyadh. The internationally recognized government of Yemen has accused Aidarous al-Zubaidi of “high treason” for not attending the talks.

According to reports, the coalition launched a series of airstrikes on separatist positions in the region, targeting what are described as military installations and command centers. The exact number of casualties is currently unknown.

The peace talks, which were held in Riyadh, aimed to address the ongoing conflict in Yemen and find a peaceful resolution to the crisis. However, al-Zubaidi’s absence from the talks has led to tensions between the coalition and the separatist forces.

The internationally recognized government of Yemen has condemned al-Zubaidi’s actions, labeling them as “high treason”. The Saudi-led coalition has also issued a statement condemning the separatists’ refusal to attend the peace talks.

The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing for several years, with multiple factions vying for control. The Saudi-led coalition has been involved in the conflict since 2015, and has launched numerous airstrikes against separatist forces.

Details of the airstrikes are currently being verified by officials, but it is clear that the situation remains volatile.
