YEMENI WAR

The Yemeni war (2015-present) began between two factions claiming to constitute the Yemeni government. Houthi forces allied with forces loyal to the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh confronted forces loyal to the Saudi-backed government of Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi. In March 2015, Houthi-Saleh forces captured Sana, the last remaining stronghold of pro-Hadi forces. Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia that responded with a large-scale invasion to Yemen in an attempt to re-establish its proxy in power. ISIS and al-Qaeda were also involved in the conflict, carrying out attacks across the country.

Did the Saudis lose Qatabah? I must have missed that news item.

Yes – back and forth on the 11th, but Hadi’s 4th Brigade and Presidential Guard finally fled that night after heavy losses. Houthis must have lost quite a few on that push, too. Cauldron forming NE of Qatabah – Saudi/UAE bases at Moris and Sadrayn could be cut off. No idea about size of forces there, but they’ll probably run south if counter-offensive against Houthis south of Qatabah fails. My money is on the Houthis – they’re on a roll lately.
