The Houthis repelled three ground attack by the Saudi-led coalition and its proxies on their positions west of the al-Sudais Mount in the Saudi province of Najran on June 8.
Houthi fighters destroyed 2 vehicles of the coalition with heavy improvised-explosive devices (IEDs) during the clashes in southern Najran. A Saudi-backed Yemeni fighter was also captured by the Houthis after being abandoned by his comrades.
The last few days witnessed a series of hit and run attacks by the Houthis in southern Najran. The attacks led to heavy losses among Saudi-led coalition forces. The coalition’s attacks west of al-Sudais were likely another attempt to put an end to the Houthis’ activists inside Saudi Arabia.
The failure of these attacks, confirms, yet again, that the Houthis have the upper hand on the Saudi-Yemeni border despite all the previous attempts by Saudi-led coalition to secure this area.
