Yemen’s Houthis on Tuesday released footage of what they said showed fighting with Saudi-backed forces in the northern province of Al-Jawf, including explosions, burning military vehicles and fighters operating mounted machine guns.
Reuters could not verify the location or exact date when the video was filmed. However, no older versions of the video were found posted online before September 15.
The footage showed columns of smoke and dust rising across a desert battlefield, while fighters fired machine guns mounted on the back of pick-up trucks. Several vehicles were also seen speeding across the desert, with fighter jets flying overhead.
Later footage showed a group of Houthi fighters chanting slogans.
Fighters are also seen pointing towards smoke rising in the distance and others entering the armoured vehicle. It also showed several pick-up vehicles that the Houthis said they had seized during the fighting.
