Yemen government says southern separatists staged coup in Aden

The Saudi-backed Yemeni government accused southern separatists of staging a coup in Aden after their fighters took over all military camps in the southern port city, the seat of the internationally recognized government, on Saturday.

"What is happening in the temporary (government) capital of Aden by the Southern Transitional Council is a coup against institutions of the internationally recognized government," the foreign ministry said in a Twitter post.
