The Zioneer Intelligence Desk reports that the Houthi movement is on the verge of capturing the strategic port city of Aden, a major blow to the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. According to the report, fierce fighting is underway around Aden, with Saudi forces inside the city suffering heavy casualties. Saudi helicopters are evacuating numerous dead and wounded to Saudi Arabia.
Aden has been a key battleground in the Yemeni civil war, serving as the seat of the internationally recognized government since 2014. The city's fall would give the Houthis control over a critical Red Sea port, further threatening Saudi Arabia's southern border and maritime trade routes. The report comes amid a broader Houthi escalation against the Kingdom, including previous strikes on Saudi airports and oil infrastructure as covered by The Zioneer.
The exact number of casualties remains unconfirmed, as does the precise status of Saudi units inside the city. The Zioneer will continue to monitor the situation as it develops.
