After the Saudi rejection of the Sana'a initiative regarding the neutralization of the southern provinces, yesterday, the forces of the Houthi movement achieved extensive progress on several fronts in Laj province. According to sources in the field, these forces took control of the center of Mudarba and Ras al-Ara district, to the west of the district, and managed to deploy in the city of Shatin, the center of the district, following the surrender of several Salafi brigades and battalions loyal to Saudi Arabia. These developments went up in parallel with similar progress in the Al-Afj and Al-Sarih region, and reached the strategic environment of Jabal Haraz, which is a short distance from the coastline connecting Aden to Ras al-Ara, close to the Bab al-Mandab strait. According to the sources, the planes of the Saudi "coalition" launched, within hours, more than 50 attacks on the surroundings of the mountain, fearing that it would fall under the control of the Sana'a forces. But the latter's advance was from more than one axis, at the same time as its missile force carried out operations against military reinforcements on neighboring fronts, which led to the collapse of more than one front and widespread retreats of Riyadh-aligned factions.
