PLC/Saudi Southern Armed Forces have announced a withdrawal from Yemen's southwestern coast towards the city of Aden, due to a rapid Houthi advance from the north that threatens to physically cut off the last remaining road.
It is not clear whether the PLC forces will also withdraw from this area, but soon it will appear that not only the Houthis will fully secure the coast of the Red Sea and the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, but also all the mountains overlooking it.
Houthi fighters are currently only 70 km from the outskirts of the PLC capital city of Aden, and capturing the southwestern coast would free up significant forces for a broader push toward Aden from multiple directions.
