—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: As I estimated, clashes are still ongoing on the Red Sea islands, including Zuqar — and most likely Mayun (Perim) as well

This contradicts reports that the strategic islands have been fully captured by Ansarallah.

However, the situation for the Saudi-backed mercenaries on these islands is very bad, and they will almost certainly fall to the Houthis within the next 24 hours.

—❗️🇾🇪/🇸🇦 UPDATE: The remaining PLC soldiers in Greater Hanish, Lesser Hanish, and Zuqar islands have negotiated their surrender with Ansarallah (the Houthis)

About 2,000 soldiers across the three islands will be handed over after dawn. Their safety and passage has been guaranteed, in accordance with the Presidential pardon.

We should see footage surfacing in the morning that confirms Ansarallah’s control over the islands.

— 🇸🇦/🇾🇪 The current situation in Yemen, Bab Al-Mandab front

The map is a bit conservative, showing Mayun Island and Murad still under PLC control, which I believe is accurate as of now (due to lack of evidence for the contrary).

That’ll likely change in the morning.

@Middle_East_Spectator

From what I can tell, holes are starting to show in the PLC’s defensive lines west of Taizz, Al-Dhabab.

This will become more clear in the next 24 hours, inshaAllah.

Goodnight for now.

—❗️🇾🇪/🇸🇦/🇦🇪 NEW: The gatherings of Saudi-backed PLC forces, which were prevented by pro-Emirati factions from entering Aden, were targeted with ballistic missiles by Ansarallah

@Middle_East_Spectator

NOTE: The Houthis do not wish to take the city of Aden by force, and would rather reach a diplomatic settlement with the southerners.

Strikes on the Saudi-backed forces, which are currently perceived as traitors by those in Aden, may incur favors among the southerners.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇾🇪/🇸🇦 CONFIRMED: Ansarallah have captured the city of Murad and the strategic island of Mayyun

With this, Bab Al-Mandab is completely under Ansarallah’s control, and the entire Red Sea coast is liberated.

—❗️🇾🇪/🇸🇦 NEW: According to our sources, hundreds of Saudi armored vehicles and reinforcements will enter Yemen from the Al-Wadi’ah border crossing today and tomorrow

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: Major General Farouq Al-Kholani, commander of Saudi-backed forces on the Hodeidah axis, was killed by Ansarallah today

Only a few days ago, he threatened the Houthis that it was ‘a matter of time’ before they got eliminated.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇾🇪 NEW: The Yemeni Armed Forces announce the successful completion of the military operation dubbed ‘God is Strongest in Might and Severe in Punishment’, which liberated 5,400 square kilometers of territory on the Red Sea coast

It is announced that international maritime navigation remains safe and permitted, with the exception of vessels affiliated to Saudi Arabia.

During the offensive, a total of 9 Saudi drones were downed, and hundreds of Saudi-backed soldiers were taken captive.

The Yemeni Armed Forces reiterate the siege against Saudi Arabia will continue and the policy of ‘escalation for escalation’ shall remain.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇸🇦/🇾🇪/🇦🇪 NEW: Saudi airstrikes targeted vehicles belonging to the Emirati-backed Southern Giants Brigades (on paper their own ally)

Allegedly, they were bombed because they ‘withdrew from battle’.
