• Fwd from @ 📝Situation on the Taiz Front📝 as of the end of October 4, 2026 Yemeni Houthis cannot be stopped – that's the impression created by the situation on the battlefield. Another offensive that began during the day turned out to be quite successful for the "fighters in flip-flops" (and some fought even without them). Over the course of several hours, supporters of the Ansarallah movement blocked all supply routes to the garrison of the Saudi Arabia-backed internationally recognized government in the city of Taiz in the province of the same name. ▪️The greatest advance was recorded on the western sector: attacking from the Bani Umar-controlled area, the Houthis rapidly and without encountering significant resistance captured the city of Turbah and the As-Safiya intersection. ▪️To the north, the settlement of Al-Barakani was taken. It is home to the residence of the speaker of the pro-Saudi House of Representatives Sultan al-Barakani. The official himself from the Presidential Leadership Council was not found on site. ▪️On the eastern flank, Ansarallah fighters approached the border with Lahij province, capturing the settlements of An-Nuba and Najd al-Aqum. Thus bringing the encirclement of the PLC-controlled army closer to the rural areas of Taiz. 🖍To put it simply, the situation for the Taiz garrison is dire. The leadership of the Saudi-allied government in Aden understands this too: hence the mobilization calls about launching some operations against the Houthis. 🚩The systemic problem of the limited combat capability of the Presidential Leadership Council's forces, which the Saudis could not (or did not want to) solve over several years, is vividly manifesting itself in the form of a "Taiz cauldron." ❗️The city could fall within days: the defenders are demoralized, and ammunition will eventually run out. But the fall of Taiz does not mean the end of the war. Ahead lie Marib and other cities, where resistance will likely prove stronger. 📍High resolution map 📍English version #Yemen #map #SaudiArabia 🧨 @rybar_mena — about Middle Eastern chaos with love 💸
