🇾🇪 - Ansarullah and the pro-Hadi National Resistance Forces, NRF, (pro Presidential Leadership Council) have been clashing along the al-Barah (Shar'ab heights) axis, Hays direction, over the past 12 hours.

Reports of a widespread Ansarullah offensive in this direction are all false. Overnight, limited clashes occurred north of al-Khawkhah, and west of al-Masil.

Reports of Ansarullah advances (using LiveUAMap) are also wrong. LiveUAMap, as we've mentioned before, is incorrect in almost every conflict. Advances shown here would indicate the Khalid bin Walid military camp was captured and is now under Ansarullah control–which it definitely was not.

Khalid bin Walid was a vital target for the Tihamah Brigades and the NRF during their counteroffensive against the pro al-Houthi forces a few years ago. It serves as the ONLY defensive position along the Mocha Express Highway between the city of Mocha and Ansarullah positions in the southwest Ta'izz highlands. If the large military camp was to fall, and had fallen to Ansarullah, fighting would be occurring WITHIN Mocha city itself now.
