Fighting partly destroys Yemeni-Saudi border crossing: witnesses | Zee News

Cairo: Saudi forces and Yemen`s Houthi militia traded heavy artillery fire which blew up part of the main border crossing between the two countries overnight, residents said on Sunday, an escalation of the two-month war.

The Haradh border crossing, the largest for passengers and goods between the world`s top oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, and its impoverished neighbour, was evacuated amid shelling which razed its departure lounge and passport section, witnesses said.

Residents of several Yemeni villages in the area left their homes and fled from the frontier, which has turned into a front line between the kingdom and the Iran-allied rebels.

Saudi Arabia has led an Arab coalition bombing the Houthis and backing southern Yemeni fighters opposing the group and loyal to the exiled government in Saudi Arabia headed by President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

The Sunni Muslim states believe the Shi`ite Houthis are a proxy for influence by their arch rival Iran, but their campaign has yet to reverse the rebels` battlefield gains.

Residents in the central city of Taiz said Houthi forces and pro-Hadi fighters fired tank and artillery shells at each other throughout the city overnight, and the Houthis seized control of a military base on a strategic mountaintop.

Yes, their Senegalese general (Ahmed Al-Assiri) even invited neutral Senegalese forces, who probably will finish the houthis in maximum 2 weeks. This is a decisive and strategic decision.


This will definitely mark the end of the houthis forever. I've never seen such a strategic decision/move in a conflict in middle-east, an army inviting soldiers from cameroon/senegal/congo to fight in mountains of Yemen against Houthis. A brilliant move by General Ahmed Al-Assiri

This is brilliant move?

21st century brilliant war strategy. Start a war first. After a few months, Senegal commits 2000 soldiers (of which we haven't seen them in action yet after that news). King Salman must have his Art of War book near him all the time.

These saudi arabs have gone mad. They want people to die for them. If Mohammad( s.a.w.) was here, he would have cried seeing the slavery which he tried to end by people where Mecca is.

He does. The only problem being that his demented highness keeps forgetting what's in the book. Stuck on page 2.

And who do you think they convinced? A country with a GDP per Capita of 52,183 USD (10th in the world) "convinced" a country with a per capita of 2,311 USD (160th in the world!). Is this something to be proud of, or are they taking advantage of poorer countries?

These guys keep saying "USA also does this! USA also does this! So it's okay!" as if repeating every idiotic American action is something to be proud of.

In my words this is bloody slavery.

Well, since his son is in charge of the army and his son is supposed to be 30 or so years old, it kind of makes sense if you think about it. He is around my age, and I remember that when we were kids, we all used to watch 80s action Hollywood films all the time, Sylvestor Stallon, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc. Imagine how scary the world is going to be once those 80s kids start being in charge of all the bombs and guns! Prince Mohammad is only the first example.

These countries offered help by themselves to satisfy Saudi Arabia which BTW shows it's political clout and importance. However, any simple minded person with basic knowledge knows that the Coalition and Saudi Arabia don't need these countries to achieve victory, it's the same as the USA asking as small countries as Honduras in Central America to send troops to Iraq. It's just to get legitimacy and boost the efforts. But hey, I don't blame you for looking for excuses for your failures as you have nothing left to say.

Money. And yes, people of this forum, today we've learned that Saudi begging Pakistan and Egypt to send ground troops to make up the bulk of the fighting force, is the same as the US asking small allies to add a couple dozen and a couple hundred troops to their 170.000 combat troops. Totally the same. The lenghts these pathetic GCC people go through is entertaining. Goal post moving has never been so entertaining to watch.

You guys like to argue, mostly on false grounds. Honey, there is no ground force on the ground anyway, and Saudi Arabia is having the upper hand and it's allies in Yemen are advancing everywhere nonetheless. I think there will be no need to ground troops. So, calm down, sit again and think of a better excuse that can make Saudi army look incompetent.

Sure baby, if Saudi didn't think it needed ground forces, why did it get egg on it's face from multiple 'friendly' countries? Why did they beg Pakistan and Egypt for GROUND TROOPS? Okay the Saudi lovers on this forum are clearly delusional, and I'll quit arguing with them.

I see missile rails? That means it's a wing? So a jet must have crashed? But where is the cockpit then? First pics showed only a fuel pod. But this is more than that.

These are non-existent questions. The true question is that why didn't Iran dare to do anything help it's trampled on brothers in Yemen?
