🇾🇪 - The Siege of Ta'izz:

Ansarullah forces continued to advance on multiple fronts, most notably capturing the Jabal Habashi peak, although PLC forces retain control of the mountain's south-eastern sector.

After 24 hours of fighting over Qadas, Ansarullah captured the entire area. Saudi airstrikes on Qadas late last night followed the takeover, which confirmed its fall to the Sana'a forces. PLC forces remain in al-Athbarah, north of Qadas, where clashes erupted last night and continue to this moment.

Ansarullah forces have also seized the large town of al-Misrakh, south of Ta'izz.

Reports claiming Ansarullah has secured complete control south of Ta'izz are false. PLC-aligned cells, primarily the Popular Resistance Forces, PRF, remain active in several locations. PRF fighters remain besieged north of al-A'lum, while clashes with Ansarullah forces continued overnight in Hadad.

Ta'izz's Popular Committees are typically affiliated with the al-Islah Party (allegedly Yemen's Muslim Brotherhood chapter) and have repeatedly clashed with the UAE-backed National Resistance Forces, NRF, over control of Ta'izz in the past. This rivalry, which was mainly over PRF's opposition to Tareq Salah, has fuelled persistent claims by UAE-affiliated media that al-Islah forces are "withdrawing from Ta'izz" or "handing territory to Ansarullah", claims that remain unsubstantiated.
