Houthi forces withdraw security elements from Sanaa to reinforce battlefronts

The Houthi movement is reportedly withdrawing security personnel and checkpoints from various areas within Sanaa to reinforce active battlefronts. Sources indicate that checkpoints have disappeared across wide areas, including from Hazij in the south to Madbah in the northwest, as well as the Sanhan road. This redeployment aims to compensate for increasing human and field losses in strategic fronts such as Taiz, Al-Jawf, Marib, Al-Hudaydah, and Al-Bayda.

Concurrently, medical sources report that several Houthi field commanders and an Iranian military expert linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have arrived at a military hospital in Sanaa under strict security and secrecy. These arrivals follow intense military escalations on the West Coast. Reports suggest a significant influx of casualties, with some medical facilities in Sanaa facing extreme pressure to accommodate the rising number of dead and wounded arriving from combat zones in Al-Barh, Maqbanah, Al-Garrahi, and Hays.
