Jabal Sabar is one of the tallest mountains in Yemen standing at >3000m in elevation. It will basically be a major determining factor in who has dominance in the city.
🇾🇪 Taiz 28 October - under a siege with no water / electricity. There are battles between AnsarAllah and the PLC Government at Jabal Han and Al Dbab to the west.
A local source says fighting has reached Jabal Sabar, which is one of the tallest mountains in Yemen.

Latest geolocations show that PLC government forces are now battling from the Marib region, having lost all previous gains in Al Jawf governorate.

revised Jabal Han as contested + some W. neighbourhoods b/c of local information including lack of geolocation evidence proving full control.
Meanwhile the pocket continues to shrink as AnsarAllah/Houthis advance towards جبل الحميمه (Al jumaima)

With regards to Jabal Han I revised it as local information indicates continued fighting (from yesterday), while the geolocation shows the Houthi position from the Western side of the slope indicating that the eastern side has not been cleared by them.
Dozens reportedly killed and wounded in a Houthi attack on Al-Alam base in Shabwa, a former coalition counterterrorism FOB.
Disturbing footage circulating from the aftermath shows numerous casualties, including badly mutilated bodies.
Local sources tell @BashaReport those targeted were newly recruited southern fighters gathering at the base, not Saudi forces, as Houthi media claims.
This is yet another example of the contradiction between Houthi rhetoric and their actions. They claim they are not targeting southerners, yet their attacks tell a very different story.
