JAKARTA - A total of 20 people were killed in an air raid by the Saudi-led Arab coalition targeting the Southern Transitional Council (STC) forces in Ad Dali Province, southwest Yemen.
Citing sources, RIA Novosti on Wednesday, January 7, reported that coalition aircraft launched about 12 airstrikes on military equipment in the Zubayd, Al-Zand, and Jahaf areas in Ad Dali Province. The equipment was transported using trucks carrying weapons and ammunition that were allegedly smuggled from the temporary capital Aden.
The air strike killed 20 people, including women and children, the source said.
As reported by ANTARA, spokesman for the Arab coalition supporting the internationally recognized Yemeni government, Turki al-Maliki, said through the X platform that coalition forces together with the Yemeni government launched a limited preliminary attack on Wednesday morning against the positions of the Southern Transitional Council in Ad Dali Province.
According to al-Maliki, this step was taken to stop military activities that could potentially trigger an escalation of the conflict.
He also said the leader of the Southern Transitional Council, Aidarus al-Zubaidi, had mobilized large numbers of troops around midnight.
The troops were reportedly equipped with armored vehicles, heavy and light weapons, and ammunition from the Hadid and As-Sulban military camps, heading for Ad Dali Province.
