Ansarula at the gates of Eden; A vital Saudi road has been cut.
Continuing their advance in the Laj province, the armed forces of Yemen (the Houthis) reached in recent days the coast and the hills overlooking the strategic "Dubab-Aden" road, a development which, according to sources in the field, placed the forces affiliated with Saudi Arabia in the western Laj province in a state of "surrender or escape". Following this advance, the opposing forces began a "mass withdrawal" from the areas of Haraz, al-Shat, al-Sarir junction and al-Mahwala towards Khor Umayra, sources on the ground said. Muhammad al-Farah, a member of Ansarullah's political council, announced on the X social network that "dozens of forces from the 2nd Giants Brigade encountered a siege in the al-Madarba area" and attempts to break the siege failed.
