Local report describes an offensive and airstrikes near Bab al-Mandab
Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni quoted an unnamed field source as saying that the Giants Brigades and Nation’s Shield forces, backed by Subaiha tribes, launched an offensive early Tuesday in the Bab al-Mandab and Kahboub sector, with artillery fire and airstrikes. The source said troops were clearing positions taken yesterday and advancing towards new, unspecified positions. The outlet also quoted the Fourth Military Region’s media office as reporting strikes on a mortar team, a vehicle and a bulldozer in Al-Mudaraba. We did not read the original military statement or obtain independent confirmation of advances or losses; the report establishes neither a closure of the strait nor a maritime attack.
