AIPolitical and military affairs analyst Brigadier General Abdulrahman Al-Rubaie said the recent decline in Houthi militia attacks on Saudi Arabia may be due to a reduction in their missile and drone stockpiles.
Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Al-Rubaie added that the decrease in strikes could also be attributed to the strength of the coalition's latest message, which highlighted the scope of recent operations and delivered a stern warning.
The military analyst explained that the Houthis have tried to intensify missile launches on facilities to signal they retain effective deterrence capabilities. However, they now face a comprehensive ground battle supported by heavy air cover, which has forced them to recognize the shifting landscape and the growing regional and international consensus against such groups. He noted that the current conflict is unlike previous ones, as Operation 'Fajr Al-Yemen' aims to fully restore the state and its institutions.
