The source explained how it was agreed that Saudi Arabia would also pay 15,000 Saudi riyals for each fighter. It explained that the agreement was made under the supervision of the commander of the joint forces of the Saudi coalition, Brigadier General Mutlaq Al-Azima.

"The Saudi enemy operation lasted for 6 days, from Friday, February 4th until February 10th," The source said to Al Mayadeen, adding that "the Saudi enemy imposed a military siege on Haradh and closed all its entrances for six days."

The source said that after a siege that lasted 6 days, the Yemeni army and committees dealt strikes from both inside and outside Haradh, "which led to the collapse of the Saudi enemy."

"The [Saudi] enemy tried to establish its control by sending many of its leaders into battle, which increased its losses."

According to the military source, "The enemy has been in a state of great collapse since February 11, after its forces were surrounded and subjected to deadly ambushes," adding that the army and committees expanded their control in the east towards Jabal Al-Nar and south towards the Ahem Junction.

The military source pointed out that "the [Yemeni] army and committees succeeded in liberating large areas of what the enemy had controlled since 2018 and that they continue their operations in more than one axis to liberate districts adjacent to Haradh."

Yemen refuted Saudi coalition's allegations of controlling Haradh

Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, denied the allegations of the Saudi-led coalition of controlling the strategic Haradh area in Hajjah Governorate.

In a tweet, Saree said that "the armed forces will broadcast special scenes for the military media to refute claims of aggression forces that they have taken control of strategic city of Haradh.”

Tomorrow afternoon,the armed forces will broadcast special scenes for the military media to refute claims of aggression forces that they have taken control of strategic city of Haradh.
With other scenes of dead & wounded of enemy and the heavy loses they have suffered.
