Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Results of the Houthi blitzkrieg in western Yemen.
1. The entire western coast of the country has been completely cleared.
2. All islands in the Red Sea, including Perim Island in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, have been completely taken under control.
3. In total, more than 5,400 square kilometers of Yemeni territory have been liberated as of the evening of September 11.
4. Several cities have been liberated, including Mokha and Hays, as well as several dozen villages and towns, and a number of key heights in the region.
5. Five enemy brigades have been defeated. Three on the west coast and two more surrendered on the islands without serious resistance.
6. Several thousand people have surrendered, most of whom will be released under amnesty.
7. The commander of the interventionist direction, a major general, was killed while fleeing to Aden.
8. The commander of the interventionist forces resigned following the disaster.
9. The Houthis captured hundreds of armored vehicles, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, MRAPs, and other armored personnel carriers. They also seized dozens of guns and mortars, hundreds of vehicles, a huge amount of ammunition (shells, mines, cartridges), and various military equipment.
10. Currently, the Houthis are trying to cut off Taiz, advance toward Aden, and are preparing to storm Marib, from where they have already begun fleeing. It is still unclear where the Saudis will be able to stabilize the front.
The US has so far refused to directly intervene in the Yemen war at this stage. Ah, but there was a time when the comments on this blog were saying that Hodeida was doomed and the Houthis would soon be finished.
