Yemen’s internationally recognized, Saudi-backed government forces repelled overnight attacks launched by the Iran-aligned Houthis targeting a critical transit corridor. The fighting focused around the steep, winding Hejat al-Abd mountain pass, which serves as an essential military supply line connecting to the southern port base of Aden. Beyond its military value, the pass is the primary artery for commercial goods moving into Taiz—Yemen’s third-largest city—and surrounding rural districts. The assault reflects a broader Houthi offensive aimed at hemming in the Saudi supported government in the south following their recent rapid advances along the Red Sea coastline.
