Fresh fighting flared in Yemen’s southern city of Aden on Monday after separatist forces seized government buildings in what the prime minister said was an attempted coup. On Monday, sporadic clashes continued after fighting overnight in the port city, especially in its north where separatist forces tried to take control of a military camp, security said. The separatists dispatched additional forces from the central province of Marib and the southern province of Abyan, the sources said. “All night shooting in Aden #Yemen, including heavy weapons,” Alexandre Faite, the head of the ICRC delegation in the country based in Sanaa, said on Twitter. Sunday’s fighting in Aden killed 15 people including three civilians, hospital sources said, after separatist protesters were prevented from entering the city for a rally to demand the government’s ouster.
