📅 28 Juni 1538 📍 Jemen

An eighty-vessel fleet carrying troops and siege artillery departed Suez under Hadım Süleyman Pasha. The expedition was directed toward the Indian Ocean and the Portuguese stronghold at Diu, but its route made Yemen’s ports central to Ottoman military strategy. Its arrival would end Tahirid rule in Aden and impose Ottoman control over key coastal positions.
