Yemen's foreign minister discusses with her Saudi counterpart escalating Houthi attacks on Aden and Taiz

Aden, Yemen ·

Yemeni Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba met her Saudi counterpart, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, on Thursday. They reviewed developments in Yemen and the wider region and discussed ways to strengthen joint coordination against security threats.

Yemen has been divided since the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) took control of Sanaa in 2014, and Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition supporting the internationally recognised government since 2015.
