Houthi forces are advancing towards Aden, now 55 km from its gates, with the start of UAV and missile attacks into the city.
The Houthi forces are about 60 km from Little Aden on the coastal axis and 55 km from Greater Aden on the al-Makatira axis. Saudi-backed forces dug trenches and set up defensive lines 40 to 50 km away, but these lines are described as very unstable.
