Two UAE-backed fighters killed

ADEN: Two members of an Emirati-backed force in Yemen were killed yesterday in clashes with pro-government fighters in the southern city of Aden, security officials said. They said the fighting broke out after the funerals of police personnel killed last week in the government-held port city. Tensions have often run high in Aden between the Security Belt force and forces backing the Aden based government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
