Yemeni government forces have taken control of areas near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and Dhubab Airport in western Taiz governorate, army spokesman Colonel Majed Al-Nuzaili said. He said troops flanked Houthi positions, blocked the road from Dhubab to Mokha and trapped hundreds of rebels, though some escaped by boat.
Coalition spokesman Major General Turki al-Maliki said 100 fighter jets joined “Operation Dawn of Yemen” to support the Yemeni army’s effort to regain control of the country. He said Saudi-led forces had destroyed 324 Houthi targets since the offensive began and were providing round-the-clock air support and cover over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Yemen’s internationally recognised government has announced a major campaign to retake Houthi-held territory.
