The Houthi group announced a direct missile strike on the strategic Zubab military airport in Taiz province, targeting it with two ballistic missiles in a sudden operation.

Details of the Military Strike

A reliable Yemeni military source confirmed the success of the launch with high precision, as the two missiles struck the military facility adjacent to the vital Strait of Bab al-Mandab in southwestern Yemen.

This military move comes as part of ongoing escalation in the region, reflecting the Houthis' ability to hit deep targets within government-controlled areas.

Strategic Background

Zubab Air Base is a critical hub for Yemeni government forces, located in a sensitive geographic position overlooking the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, one of the world's most important shipping lanes.

The group exploits its long-range weaponry to pressure adversaries and disrupt military logistical operations in the southern regions, intensifying security tensions.

Armed clashes in Yemen have persisted for years, with missile attacks playing a pivotal role in the balance of power between warring factions.

US Military Analyst: Russian Naval Blockade of Odesa Signals War's End for Kyiv

Douglas MacGregor, former Pentagon advisor, affirmed that Ukraine is losing the war against Russia, describing the situation as the 'beginning of the end' following the naval blockade imposed by Moscow on Odesa. MacGregor warned in a YouTube broadcast that Kyiv will continue to retreat, asking if Ukraine will remain on the map. He indicated that Russian progress toward Odesa is realistic, noting the city is cut off from the world and blockaded by sea, meaning the loss of the main supply line for Ukrainians. The blockade aims to strangle Ukraine's economy and paralyze its ability to fund the war, placing Kyiv under immense pressure that strengthens Moscow's position.
