[Regnum] Yemeni government forces have regained control of the Zubab region, located near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This was reported by the Saudi Arabian television channel Al Arabiya.
According to military sources, on October 5, Yemeni units of Al-Amalik (Giants Brigades) and Dar al-Watan (Shield of the Homeland), with the support of national resistance forces, liberated the Zubab region and strategic positions near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in the west of Taiz province.
It was reported that government forces outflanked enemy positions from the Qahbub Mountains with air support. Fierce fighting raged in this area before the capture of Zubab. As a result of the offensive, the Yemeni army was able to almost completely cut off the Houthi supply lines and routes leading to the strait.
On October 4, Rashad Mohammed al-Alimi, Chairman of Yemen's Presidential Governance Council, announced that Yemeni authorities had launched a military operation to liberate the country from the Houthis. He stated that the decision was made after authorities had exhausted all avenues for a peaceful resolution. He stated that the Houthis had responded to de-escalation efforts by mobilizing forces, escalating aggression, and threatening civilians, neighboring countries, and international shipping lanes.
The armed conflict between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen has been ongoing since August 2014. On July 13, Yemeni Houthis attacked the international airport in Abha in retaliation for a Saudi air strike on Sana'a Airport. This violated the ceasefire between the Saudis and the Iran-backed Houthis, which had been in effect since 2022. A week later, Yemeni Houthis announced the beginning of a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia. In their statement, they warned that they reserved the right to a comprehensive escalation in response to Riyadh's actions.
"Operation Yemen Dawn has begun to restore state institutions, liberate the capital Sana'a, and stop the Houthi terrorist coup," al-Alimi said on South24 TV.
Earlier, representatives of the Saudi-led coalition stated they would continue to assist Yemen's armed forces in the fight against the Houthis to regain control of the country's territory. On October 5, Yemeni military officials announced they had regained control of territories in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, as well as the airport in the Zubab district of Taiz province.
Even more from regnum.ru The Houthis claimed to have established control over the residence of the Yemeni leader.
On October 5, the Shiite Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement announced it had established control over two districts in Taiz province in southwestern Yemen, including the residence of Rashad Mohammed al-Alimi, Chairman of the Presidential Governance Council.
"Enemy formations have been driven out of the Al-Maafir and Al-Mawasit areas in Taiz province," the Houthi armed forces said on their Telegram channel.
Al Masirah TV showed footage of the seizure of al-Alimi's apartment building, on the roof of which Houthi fighters hung a Yemeni flag.
Yemen’s Vice Foreign Minister Ambassador Mustapha Noman @MustaphaNoman, who is from the besieged governorate of Taiz, just posted this as fighting with the Houthis continues across the governorate
“Time and again, Houthi militia leaders fail to understand that force alone is not enough to achieve their objectives. They repeatedly ignore the lessons of history. Taiz, like other Yemeni cities, has come to see them as ‘invaders,’ ‘occupiers,’ and ‘conquerors’ of what was once called land of ‘kharaj.’
“They may capture a village here and another there, but they will find no friends, no welcome, and no acceptance of their presence. They are operating among communities that remember a painful history of bloodshed, violations, and the seizure of property and agricultural harvests produced through the labor of those once treated as ‘ra’iyah,’ or subjects.
“Houthi leaders imagine these areas will submit to them, while ignoring that they are operating in communities that reject their presence. They will leave broken, having created even deeper resentment and a greater desire for retribution against them and those who collaborated with them.
‘[Quoting a Quranic verse] And those who have wronged will come to know to what return they will return.’”

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A teenager in France has had his hand blown off after trying to throw a stun grenade back at police during student riots that have shocked the nation.
Protests over dilapidated schools and classrooms, overcrowding and teacher shortages that began last week quickly turned violent.
Fresh violence took place today near the Auguste Behal high school in Lens, northern France.
A 15-year-old boy picked up a police stun grenade, intending to throw it back, only for the device to explode and rip his hand off.
Footage from the scene showed several people tending to the young man as he lay on the pavement. His left hand appeared to be missing, with a bloody stump in its place.
Several people were heard screaming in the video. He was later seen slowly walking away from the scene.
Other reports said he may have lost his arm up to his elbow, but this has not been confirmed.
It comes after far-Left rioters set fire to the entrance of a Paris school, leaving teachers and pupils trapped inside, during the mass student protests.
Footage taken outside the Vauquelin high school in Paris this morning showed violent thugs setting fire to the school's entrance.
Through smashed glass, flames were seen licking the front doors of the school. The flames appeared to be coming from a blockade.
After several seconds, two men with fire extinguishers were seen trying in vain to douse the flames from inside the building.
However, the blaze grew in size and ferocity. Behind it, young thugs were seen throwing things into the blockade, fuelling the flames.
Local media reported that around 100 students needed to be evacuated from the school, adding that demonstrators were shooting fireworks at firefighters during the operation.
Carole Zerbib, head of the vandalised school, said it had been attacked by a 'very determined' group wearing hoods and masks who tried to break through its main entrance and then lit a fire.
Police and firefighters quickly put out the fire and the school was evacuated and classes were suspended.
'It was very violent and happened very quickly,' she said, adding that the attack lasted between 15 and 20 minutes.
'It was terrible for students who witnessed this outburst of violence,' she said, adding that those behind the attack on her school did not study there.
The school is one of hundreds affected by violence that has plagued France since last week.
Many educational institutes will begin a second week of closures ahead of a nationwide day of demonstrations tomorrow.
In Lille, northern France, Gaston Berger high school was blockaded early this morning. Students were seen gathering around a large bonfire.
And over in Caen, north-west France, the gate of Victor Hugo high school was set alight. Rioters appeared to have thrown bins and other large items into a pile before setting it on fire.
In central Paris, dozens of teenage students demonstrated outside a school while passing cars honked their horns. Some classmates made their way inside to attend lessons.
'We're missing our lessons to give you one,' read one cardboard sign outside the Turgot high school in Paris's third arrondissement.
In Bordeaux, in the south-west, some students returned to the classroom while others continued to demonstrate in front of riot police.
Some protesters outside the Gustave Eiffel high school aimed fireworks at police, who responded sporadically with tear gas.
