Yemen’s Houthis Advance to Within 80 Km of Aden, Sources Say
The offensive has cut key roads to Aden and displaced more than 100,000 people, according to Reuters reporting.
- On Monday, Iran-aligned Houthis advanced to within 80 km of Aden, the government's temporary capital, as fighting intensified at a military camp near the Tur al-Bahah district, marking their closest approach since 2015.
- The group's recent offensive encircles Taiz, Yemen's third-largest city, after cutting the main southern road in early October, displacing more than 100,000 people and causing severe shortages of food, fuel, and medicine.
- Fighters reportedly entered Souq al-Rabouh in the Maqatirah district three days ago, seizing mountainous terrain that overlooks the road linking Taiz to Aden and the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
- Violence has shattered the 2022 UN-brokered truce, drawing Saudi Arabia deeper into the conflict as the Saudi-led coalition responds with intensified strikes on Houthi positions across Yemen.
- This advance follows a broader regional campaign that began in September, with military analysts suggesting the offensive opens a volatile front in the wider US-Israeli war on Iran targeting key shipping routes.
