Yemen govt hits out at UAE over Aden raids

Yemen's internationally recognised government late Friday rejected "false justifications" from the United Arab Emirates for air raids that reportedly killed dozens of government troops in the southern city of Aden. Abu Dhabi said it launched air raids Wednesday and Thursday in self-defence against "terrorist militias" threatening a Saudi-led military coalition. The coalition -- in which the UAE is itself a key partner -- was formed to combat Huthi rebels in northern Yemen and in support of the government, but Abu Dhabi's commitment to that fighting front sits uneasily alongside its backing of the southern separatists in an increasingly fragmented war.
