On July 22, warplanes of the Saudi-led coalition conducted four airstrikes on a command and control center of the Houthis in the district of Anss in the central province of Dhamar, according to the UAE-based al-Arabiya TV.
Local sources said that the center, which was located inside a local technical institute, was fully destroyed as a result of the coalition’s airstrikes. Furthermore, al-Arabiya reported that several fighters of the Houthis working in the center were killed and injured.
This was the second attack of the Saudi-led coalition on the communication infrastructure of the Houthis in July. Two weeks ago, coalition warplanes destroyed a military communication network of the Houthis in the districts of Razih and Haydan in the northern province of Saada.
These attacks are a clear attempt of the Saudi-led coalition to damage the command and control chain of the Houthis. However, the Yemeni group has not yet been affected by this tactic.
What, again?
Remember Battlestar Galactica – this has all happened before and it will happen again and again and again and again….
They seem to be unable to knock out the Houthi recruiting department….
But the coalition had earlier claimed they destroyed totally the Houthi communication network! I guess they were mystified that it had no effect – Houthis continued to hand the coalition their butts on a platter. So maybe this strike will work.
But the last one should have, I saw the pictures of the severed string that once connected the two Campbell’s Soup cans that were the core of vital infrastructure supporting Houthi command and control operations – certainly superior to coalition command and control, which isn’t hard since none has been demonstrated yet by the coalition.
