Saqladi says Houthi effort to force Giants Brigades withdrawal failed
In an original post at 01:50 UTC, Giants Brigades media director Aseel al-Saqladi said the Houthis had counted on their forces reaching a point in Al-Mudarabah while spreading rumours to force his troops to leave Dhubab, Bab al-Mandab and Kahbub for fear of encirclement. He said this effort had failed and that his forces were holding their positions and confident they could protect their supply lines. The new development is publication of this assessment; the post did not date the movements it described and does not independently establish a siege being lifted, positions being retaken or new losses.
