Yemen: Houthis Advance to Within 80 Kilometers of Aden, Sources Say

Source: US News & World Report

“Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis have advanced to within ⁠80 ⁠km (50 miles) of Aden, the main ⁠stronghold and temporary capital of the country’s internationally recognised government, four military sources told Reuters ​on Monday. The advance brings the Houthis closer to Aden than at any point since the early months of the war in 2015, when ‌they briefly entered the city before being ‌driven out. The latest offensive has opened a volatile new front in the wider US-Israeli war on Iran, drawing both the ⁠Houthis and Saudi ⁠Arabia deeper into the regional conflict.” (11/02/26)
