Houthi forces in Yemen have advanced to within 60 kilometres of Aden, the seat of the internationally recognised government, military and government sources said Sunday, November 15, 2026. The embattled government earlier announced it was pulling back its last forces from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait to defend its temporary capital on the southern coast. The move leaves the government with fewer forces to hold key positions as the Houthi advance continues. France 24 reported the advance, but the available reports did not give casualty figures or details of the fighting.
