The coalition spokesman says that the Houthis are looking for imaginary victories after heavy losses in Taiz

Coalition spokesman, Major General Turki al-Maliki, said: “What the Houthis are being exposed to in Taiz, and what we are following and witnessing of the human losses of the group’s members at the hands of the heroes of the Yemeni armed forces and the popular resistance on all fronts, makes them search for imaginary victories.”

The former head of Saudi intelligence talks about the reality of the Houthis' "decisive superiority" and the reason for the failure of their agreement with the Kingdom

In statements to Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper*, Al-Maliki explained this behavior by the Houthis as “an attempt to divert attention from the extent of the losses and the growing popular anger at the behavior of the militias, and their connection to foreign agendas that have brought chaos and devastation to Yemen.”

The Houthis announced earlier today, Saturday, that they targeted Aramco facilities in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, using ballistic missiles and drones.

Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper reported that the Houthis lost about 5,000 fighters within a week, while the Yemeni armed forces are carrying out a number of air and ground military operations on the various fronts that the Houthis attacked.

The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Colonel Majid Al-Nuzaili, announced the implementation of 257 air strikes targeting Houthi military reinforcements on several fronts, noting that "at least 700 Houthi elements were neutralized."

The developments come in light of the escalation between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, as the coalition announced yesterday the interception and destruction of 3 ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis towards the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait.
