TEHRAN, (MNA) – Yemeni Armed Forces completely controlled Bab al-Mandab Strait, capturing the strategic Mayun Island in the heart of the waterway and securing full control over Yemen’s entire Red Sea coastline in a rapid offensive operation.

In continuation of the remarkable advances, Yemeni Armed Forces have secured control over key strategic heights overlooking the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Yemeni sources speaking to Sky News Arabia announced that Ansarullah forces have succeeded in seizing control of the Kahboub mountain range, which overlooks the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the surrounding coastline. They have also established positions on the heights south of Taiz and are attempting to besiege the area.

AFP, citing a Yemeni source, also reported that Ansarullah forces have completed the process of seizing control of the Bab al-Mandab Strait and Mayun Island, located in the center of the strait.

After the Saudi-backed mercenaries fled, boats carrying Ansarullah forces arrived at Mayun Island.
