Giant Brigades, Shield of the Nation, and Southern Tribes Advance in Dhubab Amidst Houthi Collapse
Giant Brigades, Shield of the Nation forces, and the tribes of Al-Subayhah have achieved significant advances in the Dhubab region, with reports of rapid collapses and widespread desertions within the Houthi militia ranks.
The allied forces have reportedly seized new positions in Dhubab and surrounding areas, marking a continued push forward against a significant breakdown in Houthi defenses. Elements of the Houthi militia have been observed fleeing the area amidst the escalating military pressure.
These developments coincide with substantial withdrawals of Houthi leadership from the city of Mokha, with reports indicating movement towards Al-Khawkhah. This strategic retreat appears to be a direct response to the advances made by the Giant Brigades, Shield of the Nation, and Al-Subayhah tribes.
The offensive in Dhubab is part of broader military operations in the Taiz Governorate, where government forces are reportedly reclaiming territory. This is occurring against a backdrop of significant Houthi losses and continued civilian casualties from alleged Houthi ballistic shelling targeting civilian areas, such as a marketplace in Al-Wazi'iyah.
