| [AnNahar] At least 92 people have been killed in Saudi-led coalition air strikes and fighting between supporters of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi and his opponents in southern Yemen, sources said Saturday. In the key port city of Aden and in the adjacent restive Lahj ... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement province alone, 46 rebels died in ongoing festivities and 12 hours of intense air strikes that lasted until early Saturday, a military source close to them said. A medic in Aden said that eight pro-Hadi turbans were killed and 32 were maimed. The military source and pro-Hadi turbans told AFP that coalition warships were also taking part in the shelling. Warplanes' targets included the rebel-held presidential palace which was Hadi's last refuge before he fled to neighboring Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... last month, military officials said. Air strikes also hit the rebel-held Al-Anad air base in Lahj north of Aden, which housed U.S. troops supporting a long-running drone war against al-Qaeda before the fighting forced them to withdraw. Residents in Lahj said that the rebels have captured "dozens" of civilians they accused of aiding the coalition by giving them information on rebel targets.
