Yemeni vice president Khaled Bahah arrived in the southern port city of Aden on Saturday, airport officials said, the most senior official to visit the city since local fighters drove an Iran-backed Houthi group out more than two weeks ago. Arab television stations said several cabinet members were also traveling with Bahah, who arrived in Aden around noon local time (5.00 a.m. ET). Yemeni fighters, backed by Arab air strikes from the Saudi-led Arab alliance, drove the Houthis and supporters of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh out of Aden last month in a major setback for the group, which had been on the offensive since last September.
