United Arab Emirates State Minister for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said on Monday that the priority in Yemen is confronting the coup by the Iran-backed Houthi militias.

Tensions have been high in Aden after southern separatists seized military camps and other state institutions after four days of clashes with the legitimate government forces.

Saudi Arabia intervened to end the fighting and is set to host a meeting for the rival parties.
