The Arab
coalition has deployed 3,000 troops and battle tanks in Aden, Defense News reported. Images posted on
Twitter in the past 24 hours show UAE’s LeClerc main battle tanks and BMP armored
vehicle, including M-ATVs, being offloaded on to a port in Aden. Images also
show UAE armor units reportedly on their way to Al Anad air base, north of
Aden. The Arab coalition-led Popular Resistance forces have surrounded Al Anad
for the past week and with the arrival of UAE armored units could now move to
capture the strategic airbase, Yemen’s largest.
