⚔️ Houthis launch a surprise offensive along the central coastal road, to seize areas only 80 km west of Aden Yemen's armed forces of Aden Yemen have advanced 65 km along the strategic Aden-Hodeidah coastal highway in Lahij Governorate in the last 24 hours, while liberating the towns of Dar Awrah and Kshaha al-Orthor, and the enemy trap of Ras al-Khabrokh, to give up areas Hashem, or Ras al-H, without giving up by Ras al-Khan. The OSINT report also indicates the advance of Jal al-Barr, Huwayrib and the military camp of Kharaj, with Nasr Allah, overlooking the pocket enemy forces to the west in areas including Ash Shuqayrah. Saudi jets sought to counter the attack by launching dozens of airstrikes. Houthi politburo member Muhammad al-Fara said the advance in Lahij had caused disintegration among enemy forces. Reports indicate that a local commander has abandoned the front and retreated, and that Mahmoud al-Subai, a senior member of the Saudi Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), has left Aden for Riyadh. The coastal advance has taken enemy forces further from Bab al-Mandab, which they had previously vowed to recapture, and threatens to become the biggest challenge to Jordanian government forces since the Hittites' surprise attack on Moka and the southern Red Sea coast in September, and the capture of the strategic city of Taiz a few weeks later.
