According to information from the fronts of the border in Saada, several army positions have fallen following large-scale attacks by Houthi militias on several brigades.

A military commander in the Saada axis acknowledged the fall of positions and a major  Houthis escalation in the field, refusing to name any of the units that have been attacked and fall.

The Saada fronts are witnessing an escalation by the Houthi militias, who took advantage of the freeze on the legitimacy of the fronts and stop the liberation of Hodeidah to transfer large reinforcements to the Saada fronts.

Commenting on news about the withdrawal of the Special Forces and Counter-Terrorism brigade in Saada, the brigade explained that it operates within the joint forces in al-Malahez, Saudi, Sudanese and Yemeni forces, and that what happened was a simple detour of the Houthi militias from areas within the positions of some joint forces brigades and from the Special Forces.

The brigade added that his forces retreated so as not to become besieged and took offensive positions alongside the joint forces, which are still engaged in fierce battles and progress in light of the decline and collapse of Houthi.
