A second batch of Bahrain troops has arrived in Aden to work as part of the Saudi-led Arab Coalition working to restore the legitimate government in Yemen.
Brigadier Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Commander of the Royal Guards in the Kingdom of Bahrain, praised the high moral of the officers and servicemen and their pride in working with their Yemeni brethren in restoring the legitimate government.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that landmines planted by Yemeni rebels in an effort to halt the advance of pro-government forces are exacting a mounting toll on civilians.
"Landmines have killed at least 12 people and wounded over nine," the HRW said, adding that the real casualty toll "may be much higher".
"The Houthis are killing and maiming civilians with landmines," HRW's arms director Steve Goose said. - Agencies
