Giants seize Myeon Island and Bab al-Mandab Strait with coalition aid
Today, Saturday, the Yemeni war witnessed a broad military escalation in Taiz and the western coast. South Yemen's Giants forces managed to repel an attack launched by the Houthi militias on their positions north of Zubab Airport, with the clashes resulting in human and material losses among the Houthis. Intense aerial bombardments targeted Houthi reinforcements, reaffirming control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and Meyon Island, supported by coalition air power led by Saudi Arabia. Conversely, the Houthi group thwarted a tribal Lajh attempt to advance toward Bab al-Mandeb, with conflicting reports about territorial control in the area. Additionally, clashes on the fronts of Taiz and Marib resulted in the deaths of more than 25 Houthi fighters, alongside aerial strikes targeting Houthi positions. Over 2,750 targeting operations were carried out within 24 hours, leading to the "neutralization" of more than 1,400 fighters and the destruction of around 250 vehicles, according to government forces. On the regional level, Riyadh Airport was hit by a missile attack that caused injuries and led to a temporary evacuation of the airport. The incident was condemned internationally, including by Egypt. In diplomatic developments, an agreement was reached to enhance coordination between Saudi Arabia and Oman to contain the escalation.
