Houthis Announce Government Forces' Withdrawal from Dhubab and Bab al-Mandab Towards Aden
The Houthi group announced on Sunday the withdrawal of government forces from the outskirts of the Dhubab and Bab al-Mandab areas, west of Taiz governorate, towards the interim capital, Aden.
The Houthi-affiliated version of the Yemen News Agency (Saba) quoted an unnamed military source as saying that the government forces' buildups lost their positions and rear lines after being cornered, forcing them to withdraw towards Aden.
The source considered the justification of the withdrawal as a repositioning to reflect, in his words, a state of panic and fear of being captured or killed.
He also spoke of continuing to confront what he described as the enemy's buildups, vowing to establish the equation of "siege for siege and escalation for escalation" against Saudi Arabia.
