Accompanied by the armored cruiser HMS Duke of Edinburgh, opened fire on the Ottoman garrison while the transports were seeking a place to land. The location planned earlier though, was impossible for troops to land on account of the weather and the troops landed somewhere else a little way off under the armored cruiser's cover fire. The 29th Indian Brigade and 23rd Sikh Pioneers along with the sailors who had joined in the landing stormed the Ottomans' position and forced the Turks to leave their field guns behind and retreat.The next day, with a naval demolition party the Ottomans' fortifications were lost to the British forces.^[4] After its capture, the Ottomans' fort there was blown up by the British.

What followed was that H. V. Cox continued his way to Suez. As it was unfavorable to continue the offensive inland.The Ottomans in turn had troops stationed at the north of the Aden Protectorate's border. As of its impact, it kickstarted the Aden Theatre. In July 1915, the peninsula was retaken by Ottoman forces until their surrender on 19 January 1919.^[5]
