Operation 'Decisive Storm' | Saudi lead coalition operations in Yemen - Updates & Discussions.

Sanaa, Yemen (CNN)Al Qaeda fighters attacked a prison in the coastal Yemeni city of Al Mukallah early Thursday, freeing nearly at least 270 prisoners, a third of whom have al Qaeda links, a senior Defense Ministry official has told CNN.

Khaled Batarfi, a senior al Qaeda figure, was among the escapees, officials said.


Could Saudis reach out to Al Qaeda behind the curtains to fight the Houthis?
 
Houthis are fighting in The outskirts of Aden.
And from time to time they retreat & restart their attacks.

Until now, no source confirmed what you said.

I got it based on news from Reuters,
Residents of Aden's central Crater district said Houthi fighters and their allies were in control of the neighborhood by midday on Thursday, deploying tanks and foot patrols through its otherwise empty streets after heavy fighting in the morning.

It was the first time fighting on the ground had reached so deeply into central Aden. Crater is home to the local branch of Yemen's central bank and many commercial businesses.


But maybe you are right. We will get more information soon.

"The extremist group broke out 300 people from the central prison in al-Mukallah, looted the building and killed two prison guards. They also looted the bank and government buildings and have set up checkpoints throughout the city, residents and a security official say.


"Al-Qaida has a large presence inside Yemen and analysts worry that as the Houthis fight for territory and the Saudi-led air campaign strikes Houthi and military targets inside Yemen, no one is battling al-Qaida's presence or power.


"Analysts say with Yemen in complete chaos, extremists groups like al-Qaida and the self-declared Islamic State will thrive."


Should Iran support Al Qaeda so that Saudis will also attack Al Qaeda?
 
Houthis didnt even have jets or air defence.

Big part of the army were bought -espcially big officers- by Saleh through Iranian funding.

Houthis' spokesman showing Iranian money.
He was communist & they simply bought him.

Um. Houthis are in Aden. I don't know about "other cities" so maybe you are right there, but for Aden, we know now that Houthis have captured Aden.

However, since "(Reuters) - Dozens of troops disembarked at a port in Aden on Thursday, hours after Houthi fighters advanced into the heart of the southern Yemeni city, witnesses and port officials said." maybe whoever these soldiers are (Saudis? Pakistanis?) will kick Houthis out. Let's watch the developments & try to report honestly.

Pakistan isnt involved yet hence the constant saudi harassment. Saudis doing their best to undermine Pakistan such as putting Pakistani flag with the other arabs flags, they've been called out for that too.There's a meeting on 6th. No one want to help KSA except the PM who been personally assisted financially by the royals.
 
Yemen crisis: 'Foreign troops' land in Aden
  • 35 minutes ago
Unconfirmed reports have emerged of foreign troops landing in the Yemeni port city of Aden. It is not clear what nationality they are.

Aden has been the scene of fierce fighting as Houthi rebels have tried to advance on the heart of the city using tanks and armoured vehicles.

A Saudi-led coalition has staged seven nights of anti-rebel airstrikes.

Last week the rebels seemed close to taking Aden, forcing President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee.

President Hadi had previously taken refuge in Aden after the Houthis took full control of the capital Sanaa in January and placed him under house arrest.

The Houthis have said their aim is to replace President Hadi's government, which they accuse of being corrupt.

Gulf Arab states have accused Iran of backing the Houthis financially and militarily, though Iran has denied this.

The rebels are supported by army units loyal to the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Also on Thursday, local officials in the port city of Mukalla said Al-Qaeda militants had stormed a prison there and freed at least 150 detainees.

Officials said that among those freed was a senior figure in the regional wing of Al-Qaeda.

I don't know who that guy is but he is holding nine 5000 toman notes, which means its 45000 toman which is 13 dollars. So wow, Iran bought this guy for 13 dollars.
