Commanders killed in battle with militants

Signing up to be in the army and fighting for your nation is something to be proud of. But one must remember, not all the brave soldiers return home.

Scores of Houthi field commanders were killed during confrontations with National Resistance Forces in Yemen’s Red Sea Coast front, a Gulf-based news agency reported on Saturday. 

Thousands of Yemenis have been reporting to voluntary military service and recruitment offices across Yemeni governorates to join the Yemeni National Resistance Forces under the leadership of Staff Brigadier-General Tarek Mohammad Abdullah Saleh.

The development invigorates the military efforts being made against the Iran-backed Houthi militias on Yemen’s Red Sea Coast. 

A source at the Yemeni National Resistance Forces told the agency that the growing numbers joining the resistance add strength to the ongoing military operations against the coup perpetrators to liberate the entire Yemeni territories, noting that enlistment offices have been opened for Yemenis coming to voluntarily swear the oath and join the national forces.

“We are training the new recruits and equip them with all available advanced weaponry to help in the ongoing battles side by side with their Yemeni siblings against the Iranian-led scheme and restore control over the usurped lands,” he added.

“The Yemeni people are determined to defeat the Houthis who are perpetrating heinous crimes, including killings and mutilations against all those who have rejected the Iranian diabolic scheme.” 

A Saudi-owned television reported that Houthi leader, Khalid Silan, also known as Abu Hussein, has been killed during an Arab Coalition air raid in al-Tifa. Silan provided weaponry and supplies in the region.

 Supported by the UAE Armed Forces operating as part of the Saudi-led Arab Coalition, the National Resistance Forces under the leadership of Staff Brigadier-General Tarek Mohammad Abdullah Saleh, are waging large-scale military operations on the Red Sea Coast in the direction of Mocha and Al Barah, west of Taiz, to regain control over the areas still in the grip of the Houthis, and pave the way for lifting the blockade staged against Taiz from the West Front. 

Saudi air defenses on Friday intercepted a ballistic missile fired at Jazan by Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The thwarted attack was the latest in a series of attempted missile strikes on the southern coastal city.

Martin Griffiths, the new United Nations envoy for Yemen held his first talks with senior Trump administration officials in Washington last week, where his appointment to the post has raised hopes of a political process to end the country’s war.
