Yemeni rebels claim to have hit naval vessel

[BHarwana]

The Yemeni rebel group Ansar Allah (the Houthis) claimed on 13 June that it repelled an amphibious landing by the Saudi-led coalition when it hit a naval ship with two missiles earlier in the day.

Neither Saudi Arabia nor the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the main coalition partners, had commented on the claim at the time of writing, but Jane’s has previously revealed that they have not reported earlier Yemeni rebel attacks on their naval vessels in the Red Sea.

Ansar Allah said the ship was carrying troops and military equipment for a landing on the coast of the Red Sea province of Al-Hudaydah when it was hit, prompting other warships to withdraw to a safe distance as attempts were made to rescue the survivors.

It said the landing was being attempted in support of the coalition offensive to capture the port city of Al-Hudadayah.

In recent weeks, UAE-backed Yemeni forces have advanced up the Red Sea coast to within 20 km of the city with the apparent intention of either attacking or besieging it.

The coalition has not formally announced the commencement of the final phase of the operation to capture the city, but aid organisations were reportedly warned on 9 June that the UAE had given them three days to withdraw their personnel and intensified bombing was reported on 13 June.

Welcome to Hodeidah.

What are collation thinking they announce of taking the city means Houthis will be ready for them.

They can easily take Houdaidah because they got Chinese UCAV and French warships. But Sanaa is much more difficult because it is inland and mountainous.

Hodeidah will not be easy the place is a strong hold of Houthis. UAE announced the offensive so that Houthis will get scared and evacuate but Houthis have opted to stay and fight and it is very difficult to take over a dug in Guerrilla force it will take a lot of effort.

Houthis are Islamists. They are not seculars like Saudi Arabia and UAE. Islamists are hardcore religious folks. Case in point, Idlib is far more difficult than Daraa. Idlib is Islamists. Daraa is seculars.

I don't know who Houthis are or who Saudis are I am talking in terms of war engagement. To be honest I have no knowledge of ground reality because there is no source of independent media there but looking at past events of Houthis and UAE engagements UAE has air superiority and Sea superiority and houthis have missiles that can target sea and air assets so if UAE ships get in range it will be dangerous so UAE only has the land offensive available and Guerrilla is not the game UAE can play. If they really want to take Hodeidah they will have to engage in extensive air campaign and then send in ground forces but still the success will depend on accuracy of targets and intelligence which I think UAE and Saudis lack.

Houthis should Stop causing unwanted Fassad.

Houthis should Stop causing unwanted Fassad.

They claim they defend their land .
And unwanted fassad started at the time when the qualition instead of mediating between Yemeni groups and finding a peaceful solution there decided to start this meaningless and unnecessary war .

And sadly they still think the solution is military power. While all this nonsense would have ended if a simple election was held .

Houthis are the top dog in North Yemen. As an analogy, HTS is the top dog in Idlib. Doesn't matter if they are majority, they do have majority support because of religion.

How do Sunni support shia..
Houthis should remain their majority areas, declare autonomous regions and leave the rest areas..
