Houthi forces attacked government positions on the western fronts of Taiz governorate, including Maqbanah, Mawza and Jabal Habashi districts, early on Thursday 3 September local time (UTC+3), using missiles and drones before ground assaults, Al Jazeera reported. A pro-government fighter told Al Jazeera the attacks aimed to cut the main road between Taiz city and the Red Sea coast. The New York Times, as cited by the Jerusalem Post, reported that the Houthis were trying to reach the port of Mocha, less than 50 miles from the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
