Yemen’s Houthis (Ansar Allah) said on November 6 that their forces had captured the entire Kahbub mountain range east of the Bab al-Mandab Strait following a large-scale offensive against Saudi-backed forces, releasing footage documenting the assault.
The video, distributed by Houthi military media, shows fighters advancing into positions along the strategic mountain chain and engaging opposing troops at close range. It also shows anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) striking military vehicles, including one carrying fighters and another apparently attempting to evacuate casualties.
Houthi military media said the targeted forces were led by Saudi officer Badr al-Harbi. It claimed that Houthi fighters overran multiple positions, captured weapons and military vehicles, and detained surviving personnel.
The footage also documents attacks on retreating formations, with ATGMs striking several armored vehicles and troop carriers.
The Houthis said their forces destroyed or disabled dozens of vehicles and seized others carrying large quantities of weapons. They further claimed that several brigades had been driven from their positions across the mountain range.
Saudi-backed forces were shown withdrawing under the cover of intense strikes. Houthi military media said some of the strikes hit vehicles belonging to the retreating formations, portraying the withdrawal as evidence of confusion among the defending forces.
The Houthis said their fighters had secured the entire mountain chain and warned that Saudi-backed forces would face similar attacks on other fronts.
The reported capture of the Kahbub mountain range would extend Houthi control over positions in the strategically important area east of Bab al-Mandab, a key maritime passage linking the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

all saudis welcome in my lictatorship dinkmark potato farm
that sounds more like a big party when you see the ansar allah in action.
pro-saudian guys keep coming, dying and supplying “ansar allah” with armored vehicles and guns. stupid tactics, but works well for aa. 80 km to aden sounds true. may be a bit more now, but soon “warriors of allah” will come closer, if saudis keep “the wining” tactics.
