AFP, ABU DHABI: Rebel attacks on a hotel used by Yemen's prime minister and military installations in the southern city of Aden Tuesday killed 15 Arab coalition troops and pro-government forces, Emirati media reported.
Rocket attacks by Iran-backed rebels and allied forces "targeted the government headquarters and several military positions (and) left 15 Arab coalition and Yemeni resistance martyrs," WAM news agency said.
WAM said that four Emirati soldiers were among the dead and that several others were wounded.
The United Arab Emirates, a key member of the Saudi-led coalition battling Yemeni rebels, has troops deployed in Aden. It has so far lost 67 soldiers in Yemen.
The coalition meanwhile issued a statement published on the Saudi SPA news agency saying that the attacks left three Emiratis and one Saudi soldier dead. Prime Minister Khaled Bahah escaped unharmed after the rocket attack on his hotel in Aden early Tuesday.
