Himyarite-Axumite War

Between 270-272 AD, Yasir Yahnum took advantage of the absence of conflict between the Raydan and the Sabaeans, directing all his efforts towards eliminating the Abyssinians and their supporters. This came in the wake of the emergence of the Abyssinian kings DTWNS and his son ZQRNS, who led a military campaign supported by their allies from Dhū Maʿāfir and Suhār, managing to breach himyar’s territory. Their forces and supporters reached Wadi Khabān, located south of the capital Zafar Yarim. To protect his kingdom from this growing assault, orders were issued by Yasir Yahnum to his leader Khatin Awkan, the commander who was entrusted with repelling the Abyssinian advance. He camped with his tribe and the Himyarites in opposition to the Abyssinian troops.
