The Yemeni Ansarullah forces took over the areas of Jabal Asna, al-Mahba and al-Khujaja, located 16 kilometers from the port of al-Azzaf. The surprise collapse of the pro-Saudi militias spells doom for the PLC forces who manage to advance and recapture the Dubab airfield as their coastal supply line comes within easy artillery range of Ansarullah. The outstanding marksmanship of the Yemeni army with the 130mm M-46 rifles using basic bleeder shells has amazed military observers.
