Yemeni government forces have completely secured the Bab al-Mandab Strait and Mayun Island, following ongoing clashes and security sweeps in the region. According to a military source, the Giants Brigades and Shield of the Nation forces have taken control of the Al-Aradhi camp, coast guard observation posts, and the surrounding mountain range, which are crucial military positions for safeguarding the island and the strait.

The operations resulted in significant casualties among Houthi fighters, although an official death toll has not yet been released. The military campaign, dubbed "Yemen Dawn," was launched by Yemeni leaders to reclaim remaining territory and reestablish state authority and institutions. The operation commenced at dawn on Friday, coinciding with heightened fighting on multiple fronts.
