North Yemeni army (Aka houthis) apparently have captured 3 battalions of mostly southern Yemeni and Sudanese mercenaries as well as a saudi regiment which was advancing towards saada from Najran.
They have also captured 100+ armoured vehicles, weapons and ammunition.
The large operation was the work of 3 months but it was just revealed. The single greatest loss was to a convoy which attempted to advance through a valley before being ambushed by the north Yemeni forces. After a 4 days siege they decided to surrender.
Most of the casualties were a result of Saudi airstrikes against their own forces and not killed by the houthis.
A sad development which shows a major failure in strategy. Pretty sad to see people getting killed because of the foolishness of politicians. All these people had families awaiting their return just as the northern Yemenis have families they are fighting to protect against foreign aggression.
For the people commenting. Please keep it about politics/strategy/outcome and refrain from cursing the dead or turning it into a sectarian matter.
