The Houthi group admitted the killing of 12 of its members holding various military ranks within one week, in conjunction with its continued launching of repeated attacks on government forces.

Over the past few days - according to Saba Agency / in its Houthi version - the group has distributed 12 of its fighters, including 9 dead who held military ranks that varied between “major general, major, captain, second lieutenant, and assistant.”

The group's funeral was held in Sana'a for its dead, namely Yahya Abdullah Al-Muayyad, Abdullah Shaja', Hamoud Al-Shami, Khaled Aklan, and Sami Al-Dhaheri. Muhammad Ahmed Zaid, Muhammad Hussein Al-Matari, and Muhammad Ahmed Hatem were also mourned in Dhamar Governorate. In the Bani Hashish district in the Sanaa countryside, the group held the funeral of Abdul Karim Hussein Al-Najjar.

While the group held a funeral in its main stronghold in Saada Governorate, the leader Ahmed Nasser Hassan Al-Ayyani, who assumes the rank of brigadier general, and Ammar Masoud Al-Huwaili, who assumes the rank of major. Bassam Mujahid Al-Dhib, who belongs to the Khamr district in the same governorate, also held a funeral in Amran Governorate.

The group did not give details about how its members were killed, but Yemeni military sources suggest that they were killed by army forces on the Taiz, Ma’rib, and Western Coast fronts.
