Ottoman troops entered Aden after Hadım Süleyman Pasha summoned Amir ibn Da’ud aboard his flagship. Amir and several officials were arrested and executed; troops occupied the port, plundered the city, and left a garrison under Behram Bey. Contemporary and later accounts differ on some operational details, but the date of the fleet’s arrival and seizure is given as 3 August 1538. The event joined an anti-Portuguese naval expedition to the forceful removal of Yemeni authority.
