Yemen's separatists say fighting 'existential' war against Saudi-backed forces

Yemen's UAE-backed separatists said they were fighting a critical war against Islamists and Al-Qaeda extremists supported by Saudi Arabia, their military spokesman said on Friday.

"This war is decisive and existential," Lieutenant Colonel Mohamed Al-Naqib said in a statement, after the Saudi-led coalition launched airstrikes and Saudi-backed forces began a counter-campaign following territorial sweeping advances by the separatists.
