"Alliance for Legitimacy Support": Houthis Lost Approximately 5,000 Fighters in Two Weeks - Sarmad

A spokesperson for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy, Brigadier General Turki Al-Maliki, refuted the Houthi claims of targeting the Saudi capital Riyadh, describing those allegations as misleading.

In statements obtained by Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Brigadier General Al-Maliki, the Coalition’s spokesperson, said that “the losses suffered by the Houthis in Taiz and the human casualties we are witnessing and observing among group members at the hands of heroes of the Yemeni Armed Forces and the popular resistance on all fronts lead them to seek fake victories.” He explained that this behavior is “an attempt to divert attention from the scale of their losses and the growing public anger over the militias’ conduct, and their ties to external agendas that have brought chaos and devastation to Yemen.”

The Iran-backed group claimed it had targeted Riyadh, at a time when unified Yemeni forces are engaged in battles to repel Houthi attempts to consolidate positions they had seized on the western coast.

Recent Yemeni reports indicate that the group has lost approximately 5,000 fighters over two weeks, while the Yemeni Armed Forces are carrying out a series of aerial and ground operations across various fronts where the Houthis had launched attacks.
