The Yemeni Civil War (or the Second Yemeni Civil War) is an ongoing conflict between two factions claiming to constitute the Yemeni government, along with their supporters and allies.[36] Southern separatists and forces loyal to the government of Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, based in Aden, have clashed with Houthi forces and forces loyal to the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.[37][38] Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have also carried out attacks, with AQAP controlling swaths of territory in the hinterlands, and along stretches of the coast.
On 22 March 2015, a Houthi offensive began with fighting in the Taiz Governorate.[39] By 25 March, Taiz, Mocha, and Lahij fell to the Houthis and they reached the outskirts of Aden, the seat of power for Hadi's government.[40] On 25 March, Hadi fled the country.[41][42] On the same day, a coalition led by Saudi Arabia[7] launched military operations by using airstrikes to restore the former Yemeni government and the United States provided intelligence and logistical support for the campaign.[5] As of 7 April, at least 310 people have died in Aden.///
