🇾🇪 - Current situation along the Hays direction, southwest Yemen:

- Tihamah Brigades (pro Presidential Leadership Council, PLC) launched heavy artillery attacks on Ansarullah positions yesterday evening.

- Ansarullah responded with 14 ballistic missiles (one failed upon launch, another malfunctioned and landed within Ansarullah-controlled 'Ibb region) at PLC positions in al-Khawkhah and Mocha last night.

- PLC responded with large-scale drone attacks on Ansarullah positions along the al-Barah axis, Hays direction. Ansarullah retaliated with their own drone attacks, three of which were downed by the PLC.

- The tit-for-tat resulted in ground clashes along al-Kudnah and al-Maqbanah earlier this morning. Both sides began reinforcing their positions immediately.

- Since the tit-for-tats, it has now escalated into a full blown ground campaign along almost the entire stretch of the southern Hays, western Ta'izz area. Both sides are attempting to advance around the strategic Shar'ab heights.

- Clashes are ongoing, and are some of the most intense since the end of Yemen's hot-phase of the civil war in mid-2022. Neither side has made any strategic breakthrough on the ground, reports of advances are all false.

🇱🇾⚡- Libya's 4+4 Agreement:

On August 30, UN-brokered a deal to achieve unity between the different Libyan governing bodies, known as the 4+4 agreement. The agreement seeks to unite all representatives:

- Two from the Government of National Unity, GNU (west Libya),
- Two from the High Council of State, HCoS (west Libya),
- Two from the House of Representatives, HoR (east Libya),
- Two from the Eastern Military Command, LNA (east Libya).

The deal has been backed by most of Libya's representative bodies, including GNU Prime Minister Dbeibeh, LNA's Commander-in-Chief Haftar, and HoR Speaker Saleh. Chairman of the HCoS Takala declined to attend the signing ceremony, and the Presidential Council body have outright rejected the restructuring of the election commission. The agreement calls for presidential and parliamentary elections within 24 months. The elections will be held under one unified executive authority (a restructured High National Elections Commission, HNEC).

However, the 4+4 agreement also, without surprise, allows military personnel to register with Libya's new HNEC and run for the office of Prime Minister or President, hence Haftar's endorsement of the agreement.

Over the past 48 hours, the decision to allow military personnel to run for political office has become a major point of contention in GNU's west Libya, led by the GNU's Deputy Defense Minister Abdulsalam al-Zubi and Abdul Majeed Mlegta, Chief of GNU's Intelligence services. Several prominent GNU brigades in Misrata, Tripoli and the wider area have come out in support of al-Zubi, who has threatened to halt the 4+4 agreement with military means if necessary.

A state of alert has been declared across Misrata by the GNU as al-Zubi and his supporters, the Misrata Military Council and Western Plain Military Council, have established an 'operations room' to contest the 4+4 Agreement militarily.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "For the treasonous SCUM that refuses to accurately report on our Military Operation in Iran, we have virtually unlimited amounts of Mid to High Grade Ammunition, far more than we could ever use for this, or for any other War (which is highly unlikely!), that could improbably take place.

In addition, we are producing Munitions at levels never seen before. We are stockpiling and preparing for any contingency that could happen. We are taking them for ourselves, the U.S.A., rather than selling them to others, but the sales to Allies will soon again, begin.

Also, please let it be known, that the Biden Administration gave far more Munitions away to Ukraine, at no cost to them, whatsoever, than we have used in Iran. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars was given to Ukraine and NATO, free of charge, that Europe would have paid for — If they were only asked, but we will be asking for that money, though somewhat belatedly!

Thank you for your attention to this matter," - President Trump on Truth Social.
