🇾🇪⚡🇸🇦 Rapid Advances by the Yemeni Army on the Taiz and Hodeidah Fronts; Al-Mokha Port Liberated!
Expand
The Yemeni Armed Forces through a series of rapid operations, have achieved significant advances in the Taiz and Hodeidah provinces within just a few hours, covering an area of approximately 2,600 square kilometers, and have liberated numerous areas, including the strategically important port of Al-Mokha.
On the Taiz front, the Yemeni Armed Forces have made rapid progress in the districts of Al-Wazi'iyah and Mozah in western Taiz province. During these rapid advances, with the support of popular committees, the Yemeni Armed Forces have cleared the Al-Wazi'iyah and Al-Mokha, the important Khaled bin Walid base, and areas in the Al-Wazi'iyah district, including Al-Hania, Al-Aqma, and Al-Gheil, extending to the outskirts of Al-Shaqira, the center of the Al-Wazi'iyah district.
In southern Hodeidah province, the Yemeni Armed Forces have taken control of the important towns of Hays and then Al-Khukhah, and by continuing their advance along the coastal strip and liberating Yahtal, they entered and took control of the strategically important port of Al-Mokha.
The advances of this morning are reminiscent of the rapid advances made five years ago in the Hodeidah province, when, in November 2021, the Saudi-led coalition forces were forced to withdraw from the entire coastal strip, from within the city of Hodeidah to north of Al-Khukhah in southern Hodeidah province.
The intense pressure exerted by the Yemeni fighters on all fronts in western Taiz province and southern Hodeidah continues, and the forces of Tariq Saleh are reportedly fleeing the fronts towards Aden.
Overall, with the advances made over the past three days, the conditions have been created for the complete liberation of the southwestern coast of Yemen, and also for the strategic Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. A major victory for the resistance axis will soon be achieved. The air and ground dominance of the Yemeni Armed Forces over the western coast of Yemen prevents the expansion of threats from the Saudi-led coalition to maritime traffic and creates the conditions for breaking the naval siege of Yemen.
