Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[battalion25]

Yes, Houthi forces continue to push forward in western and southern Yemen, following a major escalation and the breakdown of a dormant ceasefire earlier in 2026. [1, 2]

Recent Houthi Advances

• • Southwest Coast & Bab al-Mandab: The Houthis captured key territory along the Red Sea coast, including the port city of Mokha, parts of the Al-Madaribah wal Ara district, and strategic areas near the vital Bab al-Mandab Strait. [1, 2, 3]
  • Approach to Aden: Houthi units have advanced east toward the Gulf of Aden coast, prompting the internationally recognized Yemeni government to fortify defenses around its interim capital, Aden. [1]
  • Taiz Front: The group captured the mountainous Al-Maqatirah and Jabal Sab areas, tightening their long-running siege on the major city of Taiz. [1, 2, 3]

Government and Coalition Counter-Efforts

• • Operation Dawn of Yemen: In early October 2026, the Saudi-backed Internationally Recognized Government (IRG) launched a counter-offensive supported by heavy Saudi air strikes to claw back lost territory. [1, 2, 3]
  • Ongoing Clashes: While government forces and the National Shield Forces have claimed localized counter-attacks and the seizure of some positions—such as in western Lahj—intense mountain and mobile warfare continues across multiple frontlines. [1, 2]

I guess these AI aren’t as smart as some of users including I need to start just putting it in AI program for questions i need asking…………..

AI just qoute tweets and humans posting without having ability to verify...

if you example believe that they reached gulf of aden you need some serious intellectual evaluation. this map is just a comedy relief

This is modern conventional warfare this is just not feasible. Majority of the houthis are in the al maqatirah front while some small suicide units came down DUE to the fake news and are trapped north of al shatt mountain and both areas are far from gulf of aden. main houthi forces are on the al-maqatirah front. They have zero evidence on top of that nor do they ever provide one

BREAKING NEWS :

Forces of ansarallah(houthis-Sanaa government) have officially reached the Gulf of Aden and are now besieging the mercenaries of the Saudi-led aggression at Bab al-Mandab.

Ansarallah advance in Green

Geographically, Bab al-Mandab is not far from Aden. Heading east along the Gulf of Aden coast from the strait, you reach Aden. According to recent reports, after controlling much of the Red Sea coast, Houthi fighters are controlling the Gulf of Aden and have already captured high ground in districts neighboring Aden province, directly threatening the city.

NOTE: Ansarallah is using the strait (of Bab al-Mandab) as a staging ground to advance toward Aden—the temporary capital of the (U.S.-backed) government—thereby exerting direct pressure on its adversary’s capital : Now, Ansarallah (Houthis) control both the Bab al-Mandab Strait and areas near the Gulf of Aden, and are advancing towards Aden.

NOTE : From the Lahj border (the closest advanced position of Ansarallah): The road distance is only about 39 kilometers (approximately 24 miles), and as the crow flies about 35 kilometers. This is the shortest distance for Ansarallah (Houthi) forces to Aden at this time.

Ok whatever you say from the “human” that spouts tweets and unverified postings but whatever you say again I’m attempting to be very good and keep this thread clear of useless tweets regardless if it’s become a constant meal of spam propaganda from you and one or two other people

Honestly the houthis remind me about the Panjshirs remember when they were defeated back in 2021 and said Pakistan air force hunted them which was fake and later on deployed all their forces on twitter. There was not a single NDF fighter left in panjshir anymore but they were fighting a hallucinating battle from twitter. As if they were inside the lord of rings or game thrones like fantasy.

They were having some heroic battles across some fantasy non-existing mountains it was basically just a fanfic or some kind of an invented novel.

It was the opium and now the Houthis are showchasing the same tendencies it must be the khat or something else that is strong

Look at these below lmao and they can´t even agree upon anything amongst themselves..

There is another one where they are like 5 kilometers away from Aden and they are on the Indian ocean.. You can´t make this up bro! This is what khat really does

Lying is not a trait of just Houthis. It actually comes from Iran. Irani mullahs shamelessly keep claiming nonsense and propagating lies. Afterall, Houthis are proxies of terrorist Irani mullahs.

Even worse, the shameless lackies of Irani mullahs keep bragging about the terrorist attacks (by Houthis and their Irani cohorts) on the civil airports and infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.

These sick-minded criminals have not even an iota of shame for these terrorist attacks. Their military 'achievements' are actually a cause of deep shame for the civilized world.

Not sure Saudi Arabia can stop Houthi's from making a move on Aden at this point.

Though this doesn't mean more responsibility for Houthi's is good for them. If it's just a culture of rebellion what happens if they take all of Yemen? Do they seek to take over cities in Saudi Arabia just because the culture that was cultivated around 'resistance '? (In longer term it can't be ruled out )

That's where it may get dangerous for multiple parties involved.

Hey @Falcon29 can you translate this?

Streets are saying the southern armed forces have withdrawn from Bab Al Mandab / Lahij to Aden due to Ansarallah advances in Lahij aimed at trapping the proxy forces in that pocket

Which would substantiate everything I have been saying for the past several weeks…

Saudi proxies beg international communities to help them fight Ansarallah, admitting their own failures despite overwhelming support from Saudi Arabia and European countries

This is not yet secured as PLC proxies remain present, but this is the objective for Ansarallah in the south

Saudi proxies beg international communities to help them fight Ansarallah, admitting their own failures despite overwhelming support from Saudi Arabia and European countries

this is beyond embarrassing for the Saudis.

All that military tech and nothing to show for. Time for a change in top Saudi military leadership this is not working out well tactics need to change.
