🇾🇪 Yemen

— Yemeni sources reported that the Yemeni Armed Forces had taken control of Jabal Sabr camp and its affiliated villages, as well as Al-Sarari, on the Taiz front. The forces were reportedly continuing their advance toward the strategic summit of Jabal Al-Arous, which overlooks the city of Taiz. In Lahij Governorate, AnsarAllah reportedly captured Hawab Mountain and Harooz Mountain, threatening to cut off PLC forces along Yemen’s southern coast. The Southern Giants Brigades positioned at Ras Al-Arah faced a significant risk of encirclement following two failed counteroffensives toward Dhubab, while the PLC’s rear flanks remained unsecured. Yemeni forces also advanced along the Muhaylah and Mashamrah fronts in Al-Mudarrah district, with reports of Saudi-backed forces collapsing. Further advances toward Ras Al-Arah could encircle Saudi-backed forces near Bab Al-Mandab.
