At least 20 fighters from the Southern Transitional Council were killed in Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen on Friday, group officials said. The attacks hit military camps in Al-Khasha and Seiyun in Hadramout province. Witnesses said the strikes also hit Seiyun airport, halting flights for more than a day. The raids came after pro-Saudi forces moved to take control of military sites in the area. The UAE said its last troops had left Yemen and called for calm. The STC accused Saudi Arabia of launching airstrikes despite claims of a peaceful operation. Saudi sources said the strikes would continue unless STC forces withdraw from the two provinces. (PC: HT)
