On March 10, Houthi fighters conducted a hit and run attack against a border post of the Saudi Army in the al-Dabiea area at the Yemeni-Saudi border in the Saudi province of Najran, according to the Yemeni al-Masirah TV. Several Saudi Army soldiers were reportedly killed and injured in the attack. Moreover, the Houthis burned down the border post after storming it.
Al-Masirah released a video of the attack. The video shows how the Houthis had stormed the fortified al-Dabiea border post with ladders. The Houthis used the same approach to storm the same position on January 10.
During the Houthis attack, Apache attack helicopters of the Saudi Army targeted Houthi fighters around al-Dabiea. However, the Saudi attack helicopters failed to repel the attack or even to cover the Saudi soldiers withdrawing from the area, according to al-Masirah.
The Saudi-led coalition claimed on March 10 that it had killed 30 Houthi fighters and had cleared wide areas in the Yemeni province of Saada, south of the Saudi province of Najran. However, the recent attack on al-Dabiea shows that most of these claims were just propaganda.
