Battle of Aden (2019) was a series of clashes in the city of Aden between the pro-Hadi government troops backed by Saudi Arabia and Southern Transitional Council forces backed by the United Arab Emirates.

Battle

Clashes erupted on 7 August 2019 between the STC and pro-Hadi forces in Aden after a missile strike by Houthis killed several soldiers of Security Belt forces in the city during a military graduation. The soldiers killed include Brig. Gen. Munir Mahmoud Ahmad al-Mashali al-Yafaei, more commonly known as Abu Yamamah al-Yafaei, a leading figure and commander in the Security Belt. The southerners accused the Hadi-led government as well as Al Islah party members who are part of the Hadi-led government but harbor deep resentment with the STC, for being behind enabling the attack. The STC released statements calling the attack "treacherous". The next day, 3 people were killed and 10 were injured in clashes between pro-Hadi presidential guard based in Aden and southern separatists on 8 August 2019 following the funeral of victims that were killed in the Houthi attack. STC took control of Aden's crater district on 9 August 2019. The STC captured the Badr Camp and the Presidential palace on 10 August and a total of 20 people were killed. Saudi-led coalition launched strikes against the STC on the same day.

Ceasefire

Clashes ceased briefly on 11 August 2019 following a meeting between the Saudi Crown Prince and UAE. The STC agreed to withdraw from several checkpoints it had captured during the clashes and UAE denied supporting STC's clashes against the Saudi-led coalition. STC vacated some positions in Aden on 17 August 2019.

Continued clashes

Clashes continued with lower intensity in Aden on 16 August 2019 after STC forces refused to withdraw from some of their captured positions. On 21 August UAE rejected allegations that it was behind the developments in Aden.

On 28 August 2019 Hadi-led forces recaptured most of the neighborhoods they had lost to the STC, including Aden's International Airport. By the next day however STC forces recaptured most of Aden again. The Hadi-led Government accused UAE of launching airstrikes against its troops, killing at least 30

Clashes elsewhere in Yemen

Clashes between the STC and Hadi forces erupted in Shabwah Governorate on 22 August 2019 after STC forces refused to withdraw from al-Akaf checkpoint. There were dead and wounded in the clashes which included heavy weapons. Hadi government accused the command of the STC for blowing up the situation in Shabwah.

Clashes occurred in Abyan Governorate on 20 August 2019 after STC forces took control of a camp in Az Zanjabar, several were killed in the clashes.
