New US forces arrive at Aden port

ADEN, Jul.26 (YPA) – US military units deployed on Monday in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden, local sources said.

According to the sources, the US forces had deployed in the port of Aden in the past hours, explaining that they had closed the streets leading to the port.

This coincided with the deployment of Saudi troops on the streets of the city, amid reports of threats of a military rebellion against the Riyadh-formed Presidential Council.

It is not yet known whether the new deployment of US military personnel charged with protecting the Riyadh-formed  Presidential Council is part of securing foreign ships coming to the port, or as a part of the coalition deployment campaign in Aden in the past two days,

It also coincides with escalating conflicts between pro-coalition factions and protests organized by the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’ recruits demanding salaries.
