According to Israeli media reports, a former Yemeni military official stated that the Yemeni government forces' high-profile propaganda about the battlefield's progress yesterday was actually a cover-up for the losses they had suffered in the coastal region. The reality is far worse. The only way to reverse the situation is for Saudi Arabia to further intervene in Yemen and to activate the Mecca Mutual Defense Agreement, bringing Türkiye and Pakistan into the fold as well.
