Airstrikes killed seven people in Yemen on Friday as a Saudi-led coalition attacked U.A.E.-backed separatists who have seized huge swathes of territory, said an official for the group.

More than 20 people were also wounded as seven airstrikes hit a camp in al-Khasah, said Mohammed Abdulmalik, head of the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Wadi Hadramaut and Hadramaut Desert.
