Houthis: 3 brigades besieged; thousands of prisoners from Arab Coalition

Brigadier-General Yahya Sareeh, spokesman for the Houthis, said that the operation, which they called "Nasr Min Allah" is the largest operation to lure the Saudi forces since the start of the intervention of the Arab coalition in the spring of 2015, and continued for several months and specialized units of their forces participated in the framework of supporting and backing the operation in the axis Najran, led by the missile force, the air force and the air defense, according to the network of march media spokesperson for the Houthis.

"Only 72 hours after the start of the operation, our forces applied the siege on three deceived brigades and a whole faction of the Saudi army," he said.

He also reported the capture of thousands of Yemeni forces and the Arab Coalition, including large numbers of commanders, officers and soldiers of the Saudi army.

In the same context, the Arab Coalition announced on Sunday that the Houthis used civilian areas in Sanaa to launch a ballistic missile, which landed in Saada.

A spokesman for the Arab coalition forces, Col. Turki al-Maliki, said in a statement that the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militia fired a ballistic missile from Sana'a province on Sunday morning, using civilian objects for the launch site and landed after launching inside Yemeni territory in Saada province.

The Houthis also continued to violate international humanitarian law by firing ballistic missiles that threaten the lives of hundreds of civilians and indiscriminately falling on civilians as well as communities.

Maliki did not mention the Houthis' recent announcement that the Yemeni army was surrounded by the Arab coalition and the families of the soldiers.

The Houthis’ announcement comes as the Wall Street Journal reported earlier that Saudi Arabia had decided to implement a partial ceasefire in Yemen after a surprise Houthi move to unilaterally declare a ceasefire last week.
