AIGeostrategic analyst Maj. Gen. Dr. Khaled bin Shuwail said the recent strike in Shabwa does not necessarily indicate Houthi superiority.
Speaking in an interview with Al-Ikhbariya Radio, he explained that missile capabilities are different from the ability to control territory and achieve gains on the ground.
He added that the danger of missiles lies in their potential to damage infrastructure and disrupt the building of state institutions, but the recent incident does not necessarily reflect the Houthis’ missile capabilities.
He concluded that the current challenge for Yemen’s military leadership is to protect troop assembly points and prevent missile strikes from translating into tangible or psychological gains for the Houthis.
