The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) took full control of Camp Khalid, a key military position overlooking the Ta'izz–Mocha road, and pushed into the city of Hayz. Saudi-backed forces of the Presidential Leadership Council withdrew from the area, according to The Zioneer Intelligence Desk. Houthi forces employed ballistic missiles and heavy drones against troop concentrations around the city.
The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) has captured the strategic Camp Khalid and entered the city of Hayz in Yemen's Ta'izz governorate, according to The Zioneer Intelligence Desk. The camp overlooks the Ta'izz–Mocha road, a critical route connecting southern Yemen to the Red Sea coast. Forces of the Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council withdrew from Hayz, the last major town on the approach to Al-Hudaydah, enabling the Houthi advance. The Houthis reportedly used ballistic missiles and heavy drones against troop concentrations in the surrounding area.
The Zioneer has previously covered fighting in the Ta'izz region, including reports of advances by pro-Saudi militias and back-and-forth offensives. This latest gain marks a significant Houthi territorial expansion on Yemen's west coast.
