Southern Yemeni forces regained some of the ground they had lost to advancing northern troops on a front north of their Aden stronghold, Reuter reports from Aden. Southern forces advanced about 15km (nine miles) towards al-Anad and are now 5km (three miles) south of the military base, from where they had pulled back last week in fierce artillery and tank battles with their northern rivals. A large explosion shook Aden last night, less than 24 hours after northern forces fired several missiles at the southern Yemeni city.
