Minus the height, the Houthis won another local but important victory: the movement advanced in the Kahub mountain range northeast of the Bab al-Mandab strait. The successes in Ansaral were confirmed by photographs from the battlefield, where, among other things, the withdrawal of pro-government forces was evident. Moreover, the movement honestly wrote that only a few positions had been captured: a significant part of the ridge still remained under the control of the Yemeni army and its allied groups. The significance of the ridge is from where you can see (and shoot) the entire coastal area in the strait area. It also allows pro-government forces to cover the communication routes to Zubaba airport and hold the defense in the direction of Aden, so the Houthis' interest in expanding control here is quite understandable. If the Houthis completely capture Kahub, it will obviously not be soon: the terrain here does not lend itself to quick attacks. However, capturing at least the part of the ridge closest to the strait will already strengthen their position on the coast, and at the same time make it difficult for their enemy to hold positions near Zubab. - On the chaos in the Middle East with love support us.
