RIYADH — An official source of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen denied claims doing rounds on media outlets of Iran-backed Houthi militia that they have managed to capture several Saudi military positions in Najran and Jazan as well over the few past days, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said on Friday.

The source stressed that the Houthi terrorist militia are suffering daily defeats and setbacks on different fronts and that they did not make any progress since the start of the Decisive Storm and Restoration of Hope Operations, therefore they are resorting to fabrications and lies, claiming false victories through their media, just to boost the morale of their fighters and supporters in areas under their control.

The source ridiculed the claims of the Houthi terrorist militia of controlling 15 military positions, in Najran and Jazan during the past three days, noting that the Yemeni army, with the support of the Coalition, is advancing tens of kilometers deep into Saada and Hajjah.

What the militia claims, supported by the media propaganda trumpets sympathetic to them, are fictional and fictitious stories to be added to hundreds of stories and fabrications of previous Houthi false victories claims, the most recent of which was an alleged targeting of a military position, in Dammam, which reflected the state of expansion of the false imagination of the Houthi militia and their media tools, the source concluded. — SPA
