The forces of the Southern Giants recently released a video showing them arriving at the outskirts of Hayd al-Aqrabi in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, laying siege to the Houthis in the area. However, these movements are part of temporary incursions into an area that is difficult to defend, such as the airport in Duba. This is why the Sana'a forces in Bab al Mandav and Bai Perim are supplied by sea and not by the coastal road. Hence the importance of controlling the interior mountains to secure the coast; These are now being taken by the Houthis in a war of attrition against the forces of the giants (mainly) and the PLC, the results of which will have profound consequences for the city of Aden.
