Yemeni Forces Resume Attack on Houthis Near Bab al-Mandab
The Yemeni government forces have renewed their attacks on Houthi positions near the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait, in an attempt to expand their gains and advance into the depths of the areas controlled by the Houthis that overlook this vital international shipping lane. The offensives began in the morning from Zubab District in Taizz Province, involving forces from the Southern Giants Brigades and the Homeland Shield forces, supported by aerial backing from the Saudi-led coalition. It has been confirmed that the battles were intense, with mines used by the forces hindering their progress, accompanied by reports of dozens of Houthi fighters killed and calls for the remaining Houthis to surrender. Conversely, Houthi sources claimed to have repelled the attack and inflicted human and material losses on the government forces through the use of rockets and drones, with the Houthis also suffering losses among their field commanders. These clashes follow a broader military operation launched by Yemeni forces, representing an effort to control the main entrances to the vital strait connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden, amid ongoing full-scale military escalation between the two sides since the outbreak of the conflict in 2014.
