The failure of the Saudi plan in Bab al-Mandab

Yemeni media reported the withdrawal of Saudi-backed forces in the south of Bab al-Mandab and missile attacks on military positions in Aden.

Ambassador Arjan-International Group: Yemeni media reported that Saudi Arabia's plan to regain control of the strategic Bab al-Mandab strait has reached a complete deadlock. Despite receiving comprehensive air support and the use of the "scorched earth" policy by the Saudi army to pave the access path to the strategic island of Mayon, the groups affiliated to Riyadh could not survive in their positions south of this strait.

Contrary to Riyadh's calculations, the forces of Sana'a, by moving from a defensive position to an offensive phase, forced the groups known as "Al-Amalaqa" and "Dara' Al-Watan" to leave their positions in the south of Bab al-Mandab and "Ras al-Aara" area in the west of Lahj province.

Following these failures, the Saudi army desperately bombarded Mayon Island; According to Sana'a military sources, this action is considered a failed attempt to cover up the ground failure and a clear threat to the security of international navigation in this vital waterway.

Meanwhile, a military source in Sana'a strongly warned the remnants of mercenary soldiers affiliated with the Saudi regime in Taiz, emphasizing the need for them to respond to local initiatives to open safe crossings and warning that the Yemeni armed forces will never allow mercenaries to use the city of Taiz and its residents as human shields.

Also, the deceived commanders and elements were asked to take advantage of the decision of general amnesty before it is too late and stop self-immolation in defense of Saudi aggression.

Developments in the field show that the crushing operations of the Yemeni armed forces, including a precise missile attack with three ballistic missiles on the gatherings of the Saudi army and "Dar'a al-Watan" mercenaries in Ras al-Aara and Al-Madarabah, have inflicted heavy blows on the bodies of these forces. In these operations, senior field commanders, including the chief of staff and the operations chief of the 5th Dara Al-Watan Brigade, were killed, and a number of others, including the commander of this brigade, were seriously injured. The Yemeni armed forces also targeted the headquarters of the West Bank operation in the "Maashiq" palace in the city of Aden, which was run by Saudi officers.

Initial reports indicate casualties from the attacks on the economic palace and a coalition camp in the al-Bariqah area of Aden. Unconfirmed estimates indicate approximately 50 dead and more than 150 wounded, most of whom are Saudis.

Reports also indicate that eight ambulances and seven vans carrying the dead and wounded have left the Economic Palace for Aden hospitals, including Abboud Military Hospital and Aden General Hospital.

It has been reported that about 10 wounded have arrived at one of the hospitals after the attack. According to the published information, the rockets hit the weapons warehouses and military facilities in Al-Bariqah, including the headquarters of the "Patrionic Guard" forces and one of their ammunition warehouses, which led to a fire and successive explosions of ammunition.

There are also reports of targeting weapons depots in Jabal Hadid, where explosions continue.

Reports indicate that the drivers have been informed of the closure of the roads in the Al-Bariqa area due to the scattering of weapons and ammunition from the explosion sites onto the road. At the same time, measures were taken to prevent access to the target camp.

Despite these heavy casualties and more than 400 mercenary elements killed and wounded in unsuccessful attempts to advance in the open areas south of Bab al-Mandab, reports indicate that Riyadh is desperately trying to reorganize these groups. However, the deep differences and mutual accusations between "Alwiyyah Al-Malaqah" and "Dar'a Al-Watan" about betrayal and lack of support have darkened the horizon of any renewed efforts by the Saudis.

The spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces announced: The attempt of the Saudi-affiliated forces to advance in the east of Jouf province was repelled and a number of military equipment of the attackers was destroyed.

The head of Taiz governorate in Sana'a government considered the closure of the human crossings of this province by Saudi-affiliated militias as an action against the people and an attempt to increase pressure on them.

The House of Representatives of Yemen emphasized in a statement that Sana'a is committed to ensuring the security of international shipping in Bab al-Mandeb and the Red Sea.
