Yemen's Shia extremist Houthis have sent tanks close to the frontline positions of the Yemeni army in eastern Yemen's Marib for the first time since the Arab Coalition arranged a "truce" and suspended its airstrikes as of the weekend, informed sources say.
Battlefield sources said on the condition of anonymity, the Houthis deployed main battle tanks "for the first time in addition to armored vehicles and UAVs to Marib's southern frontlines while stepping up the near-constant ground push attempts onto the city."
"They (Houthis) are emboldened by the absence of the Saudi-led coalition's airstrikes which used to offer defense help for the army," he said.
S*di Arabia has implemented a malign international cons*piracy from the beginning of the war, in 2015, allowing its real. agents, the Houthis, constant access. to smuggled arms, while imposing the real. embargo. on the Yeme.ni army. to keep it vul.nerable. and dependent. on its barely defensive aerial. help for a temporary day-by-day survival.
