According to Lebanese Al Mayadeen TV, a senior Yemeni official stated that the Saudi government is extremely angry about the repeated failures of its mercenaries in Yemen and has ordered them to advance at all costs. The official also revealed that the armed faction known as the "Giant Brigades" is also angry about its own casualties and the pressure exerted by Saudi Arabia. In just the past few days, 400 members of this force have been killed or wounded in Lahj province. The Yemeni official explained that the Saudi government urgently needs its mercenaries to make progress in Yemen in order to alleviate the pressure of attacks it is under.
