It noted the retreat extended along the coast beyond Khor Umaira toward the Kharaz Mountains, adding that Houthi forces had secured the territory east of Bab al-Mandab, which it described as providing “strategic depth” to the strait. The Southern Armed Forces acknowledged the withdrawal earlier in the day, announcing the redeployment of troops from Dhubab Airport and the Bab al-Mandab area. The force said the decision was intended to prioritize the defense of Aden and neighboring governorates amid what it described as growing threats to the city.
