Story highlights Yemeni officials say four nations have moved their operations from Sanaa to Aden

President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi fled there after being deposed

(CNN) Four Gulf countries now have opened embassies in Aden, Yemen, where President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi fled after being deposed.

The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait opened their embassies Friday, two Foreign Ministry officials who didn't want to be named because they are connected to Hadi told CNN. The move came one day after the Saudis and Qataris shifted their embassy staffs there.
