Washington Evacuates Entire Military Staff from Yemen Due to Deteriorating Security

International

WASHINGTON-The United States is evacuating its entire military personnel from a key airbase in Yemen following an upsurge in violence in the conflict-torn country, the US State Department has announced.

“Due to the deteriorating security situation in Yemen, the U.S. Government has temporarily relocated its remaining personnel out of Yemen,” US State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said in a Saturday statement.

The State Department stressed that there is “no military solution to Yemen’s current crisis” and called for an “immediate” cessation of armed hostilities in the country.

Earlier on Saturday, the UN Security Council announced a decision to hold an emergency meeting on Yemen on Sunday afternoon, a move which came one day after “Islamic State” (ISIL) terrorists carried out a series of attacks in Yemen’s capital Sanaa and the northern city of Saada.

On Friday, suicide bombers took the lives of at least 150 people in two Sanaa mosques. In Saada, over 30 people were killed in attacks.
