MUKALLA, Yemen — Airstrikes killed seven people in Yemen as a Saudi-led coalition attacked UAE-backed separatists who have seized huge swathes of territory, an official for the group says.
More than 20 people were also wounded as seven airstrikes hit a camp in Al-Khasah, says Mohammed Abdulmalik, head of the separatist Southern Transitional Council in Wadi Hadramaut and Hadramaut Desert.
