Taiz Encircled By Houthis? Yemen Fighting Escalates Near Strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait

Fighting around Taiz is raising fresh concerns over the security of Yemens key Red Sea approaches. Multiple reports claimed that Houthi fighters have encircled hundreds of Saudi-backed fighters in Yemens third-largest city after cutting a key supply route linking Taiz with Aden. The development could put government-aligned forces under growing pressure as fighting intensifies across the region. Attention is also turning towards the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait, amid unverified claims of French military activity near the waterway involving an A330 MRTT tanker aircraft. France has confirmed a military presence around the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab, including naval assets involved in protecting commercial shipping. The latest developments could raise concerns over a wider escalation around one of the worlds key maritime routes.

Houthis Fire Ballistic Missiles At Saudi-Backed Forces, Send Warning Over Yemen Ground Offensive

Yemens Houthis have released new battlefield footage showing ballistic missiles being prepared and launched against positions held by Saudi-backed forces in southern Yemen as fighting intensifies.The Houthis describe the weapons shown in the footage as locally manufactured, reinforcing their claim that their expanding missile and drone capabilities are the product of domestic military development. The United States and its regional partners have repeatedly accused Iran of supplying missile and drone technology to the group, while Tehran and the Houthis reject claims that the movement simply operates as an Iranian proxy. The footage emerges as Saudi-backed forces carry out operations against Houthi positions and Washington provides Riyadh with intelligence and targeting assistance while stopping short of direct airstrikes. By displaying ballistic missiles being used directly against battlefield formations, the Houthis are signalling that any expanding ground offensive could encounter more than conventional resistance with the group putting its missile arsenal prominently back on display.
