About 700 Sudanese soldiers arrived by sea on Saturday in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden, which is under coalition control, the al-Masdar news website reported. Abdullah Hamud, a witness and resident, said by phone that he saw Sudanese troops in armored and military vehicles driving in the city.
