Operation "Yemen Dawn" launched in Yemen: Government forces are advancing

Yemen Armed Forces Spokesperson Colonel Majid Abdullah en-Nezili said in his statement on the social media platform of US-based company X:

He announced that the "Yemen Dawn" operation had been launched on a comprehensive basis in order to target the Houthis' military capacity and elements.

Nezili stated that government forces carried out a siege maneuver and Amalika Forces and Homeland Shield Forces managed to take control of Babulmandeb.

Stating that Zubab Airport was also taken under the control of government forces, Nezili stated that the forces blocked the road between Zubab and Muha and provided fire control on the route.

Nezili stated that hundreds of Houthi elements were under siege in the Zubab region and that these people were asked to surrender to the security forces, and claimed that some Houthi militias escaped by sea on boats after the siege.

Nezili emphasized that the "Yemen Dawn" operation will be continued with determination until the set goals are achieved.

Houthis claim they are in control of Babulmandeb

Sources close to the Houthis did not confirm the statement that government forces took control of Babulmandeb and argued that the control of the region was with the Houthis.

It is reported that the conflicts in the region continue while the parties continue to claim control in Babulmandeb and its surroundings in the west of Yemen.
