STC spokesman Anwar al-Tamimi has said “what is happening in southern Yemen is a full-fledged act of aggression,” following what the STC has said were deadly Saudi coalition strikes on its forces near the Saudi border. The events also mean “that the Presidential Leadership Council is finished and the Arab coalition is finished”, al-Tamimi was quoted as saying by Al Jazeera Arabic, in an apparent rejection of Yemen’s internationally-backed governing body and the Saudi-led coalition that supports it.
