🔶 The advance of the Houthis up to 60 kilometers from the city of Aden in Yemen.
On Sunday (November 15), Yemen's Houthis reached a distance of about 60 kilometers from the city of Aden, seat of the recognized Yemeni government, by continuing to advance towards the south of the country.
Four military sources and two Yemeni government officials informed Agence France-Presse that the Houthis have taken control of the Al-Muaqara and Al-Madaraba area and are now stationed in the Al-Kharez military camp, located in the Al-Madaraba area.
This progress occurred in a situation where the forces associated with the Yemeni government, with the support of the military coalition led by Saudi Arabia, are trying to prevent the fall of Aden.
The Yemeni government announced on Sunday that it had withdrawn its forces from the areas overlooking the strategic Bablamandab Strait and moved them to the southern regions to strengthen the defense lines of Aden and the surrounding provinces.
The militant armed forces of South Yemen emphasized in statements that this transfer was made in order to focus on the defense of Aden and to deal with the military threats of the Houthis. However, the withdrawal of government forces from around Belmandab strengthened the position of the Houthis in the areas overlooking this waterway.
