Himyarite-Axumite war of 270-272

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.
