“Many of the Houthi field commanders and hundreds of fighters have been killed in air strikes, especially in Taiz and Yemen’s western coast.

Mohammed said the Dawn of Yemen offensive exposed Houthi forces to deadly attacks, killing many field commanders and fighters, and that gains could be short-lived if coordinated attacks continue.
