也门军队周一表示，政府军在与胡塞武装发生冲突后，已夺取了杜巴卜区以及曼德海峡周边的战略阵地。
The Yemeni army said Monday that government forces had seized the Dhubab district and strategic positions around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait following clashes with the Houthis.
也门官方萨巴通讯社称，由“民族之盾”和亲政府的“南方巨人旅”组成的部队，在人民抵抗力量的支持下，控制了塔伊兹省西部的杜巴卜。
Yemen’s official Saba news agency said forces from the Nation’s Shield and the pro-government Southern Giants Brigades, backed by the Popular Resistance, took control of Dhubab in western Taiz province.
一名军方消息人士告诉萨巴通讯社，这些部队在空中支援下发动了一次大规模行动，目标是该区多个地区的胡塞武装阵地和部队。
A military source told Saba that the forces launched a large-scale operation with air support targeting Houthi positions and forces across several areas of the district.
该消息人士称，部队推进并控制了关键阵地，同时切断了通往曼德海峡的补给线和路线。
The forces advanced and took control of key positions while cutting supply lines and routes leading to Bab el-Mandeb, the source said.
该消息人士表示，数量不详的胡塞武装人员在冲突中死伤，多辆军车和装备被摧毁或损坏。
The source said an unspecified number of Houthi fighters were killed or injured in the clashes, while several military vehicles and equipment were destroyed or damaged.
南方巨人旅另行宣布，他们针对曼德海峡地区的胡塞武装发起了一场所谓的“决定性”军事行动。
The Southern Giants Brigades separately announced the launch of what they called a “decisive” military operation against the Houthis in the Bab el-Mandeb area.
此次行动是在总统领导委员会主席拉沙德·阿里米下令启动政府所称的“解放之战”之后进行的，该行动旨在恢复国家机构以及胡塞武装控制下的领土。
The operation comes after Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad al-Alimi ordered the start of what the government calls a “battle for liberation” aimed at restoring state institutions and territories under Houthi control.
曼德海峡是连接红海与亚丁湾和阿拉伯海的重要战略水道，也是国际航运的关键路线。
