Reports that Sana’a forces have captured Shatin, the district centre of Madaribah, are not true, as are reports of the collapse of the Aden forces there. The front line is highly fluid, with both sides capturing and losing previously held towns whilst advancing several kilometres into enemy territory. Hence the reports that Sanaa forces are 25 kilometres from the coast or that Aden forces have ‘recaptured’ (entered and then withdrawn from) Jabal Araf. The fourth phase of Operation “And Allah is More Severe in Power and More Severe in Punishment” is expected to begin in the coming days, with the aim of reaching the coast and cutting off the Aden forces from their positions around Bab el Mandeb… although that will not be the main thrust of the new offensive. The Southern Forces stronghold of Dhali could soon come under threat. 🇾🇪
