Yemen's Houthi rebels release footage of attack, say some 200 pro-government fighters killed and 2,000 captured in August offensive near southern Saudi region of Najran
Houthi spokesman Yahya Sarea says the three-day"large-scale" operation was launched on August 25 and showed footage purportedly of the attack, but it was not clear why the announcement was being made weeks later.
The Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, said the offensive 72 hours earlier had defeated three "enemy military brigades," leading to the capture of "thousands" of enemy troops, including the Saudi army officers and soldiers, and hundreds of armoured vehicles."Over 2,000 fighters were taken prisoner," he added, saying most of them were Yemeni but that they included other prisoners.
Saudi Arabia, which leads a coalition that has been battling the Houthis has not responded to Houthi announcement that they had carried out the attack.Houthi-run Al Masirah TV broadcast images of armoured vehicles hit by blasts and what the Houthis said were dozens of surrendering fighters. Two of those men, speaking to the camera, said they were from Saudi Arabia.
