Commentary by Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] 1. To the south of Hodeidah, the troops of Tarek Saleh started active battles around Hayes, trying to use the forces freed from Hodeidah to expand the area around the city. In fact, 2 out of 4 brigades freed from Hodeidah were brought into battle around Hayes.

Saleh managed to push the Houthis slightly, but he failed to achieve anything significant here, the fighting continues dangerously close to Hayes, which acts as a kind of "festung", the fall of which could lead to a further rollback of the front south to Mokha.

2. South of Marib, fighting continues for the Jabal al-Balak mountain range. The Saudis and Hadis are holding on for now. After the defeat of the Hadists in South Marib, the front shows tendencies towards positionalism - the reserves from Hadhramaut made it possible to build a new front to replace the one that collapsed in the fall. The Houthis continue to claim that they will soon take Marib.
