Yemen govt forces claim control of Aden amid civil war

Forces loyal to the internationally recognised Yemeni government of President Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi claimed to have taken control of the port city of Aden amid the civil war. UAE-backed separatist Southern Transitional Council had seized control of Aden earlier this month from Saudi-backed forces. Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE are fighting in Yemen's civil war against Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
