Yemen’s Houthis announce capture of ‘thousands of enemy troops’

Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim to have captured “thousands” of enemy troops including several Saudi Arabian army officers in a cross-border attack.

The Houthis claim that they attacked the region of Najran in southern Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is yet to confirm that any attack in Najran has taken place.

The Houthis held a press conference to announce the attack.
