Yemen Conflict and Saudi Military Captives

This one is Saudi, everyone.

Yes, Saudi. Saudi.

He said peace is for oppression.

A resounding fall and a breathtaking collapse

on the Taiz fronts. Yemen's military media, viewers,

is publishing at this moment footage of mass captures

involving dozens of fighters in Yemen's Taiz Governorate.

Among these captives are Saudi officers

and military personnel. Saudi soldiers in flesh

and blood who were fighting shoulder to shoulder and directing

battles from within, from the heart of Taiz, among the

National Shield Forces. We are talking here about members of

the National Shield Forces, the force that represents the elite and the spearhead,

and they are heroes in Riyadh's military lexicon while they are

mercenaries in the eyes of the Houthis. These officers

and personnel have now officially become captives

in the hands of Ansar Allah fighters. We are not facing

merely the loss of a front. We are facing a precious

strategic catch presented on a golden platter. A powerful

bargaining chip and a crushing blow that places Riyadh's leadership

before a grave sovereign and military predicament.

The irony, Raed, is that this valuable catch did not fall on

an ordinary day. Riyadh, which only hours ago

brandished the catastrophic evacuation warning and prepared to open the gates

of hell and turn Sana'a into scorched earth,

now finds itself in an unenviable predicament.

So how will the Saudi operations rooms give the order

for comprehensive strategic bombing while their officers are being led at this

very moment toward the basements and tunnels of the very capital

they threaten to crush? These military men are no longer

merely prisoners of war, they have literally become

an insurance policy and a real shield held by

Ansar Allah fighters to halt the airstrikes and neutralize the entire

Saudi target bank. Returning to the footage

broadcast by Yemeni military media, it was not merely

a display of the detainees' faces, but documented something beyond

that. We saw a fiery incursion, sweeping operations,

and the rapid fall of territory in

the heart of Taiz Governorate. We are talking about

overwhelming advances that reached the center of Al-Turbah and deep into the district

Al-Shamayatayn, strongholds considered until recently

closed fortresses and red lines for the Nation's Shield Forces.

Here, we must pause and ask with brutal

candor: How did these defensive lines collapse

for elite officers to be pulled from the rubble of battles in Taiz?

And where was the air cover? Sana'a today has not

merely broken geography. Sana'a has broken prestige on

the battlefield. The fall of territory in Taiz and the fall of the

heavy prisoners card in Sana'a. And now, the

Yemeni scene is rewriting the rules of engagement in blood,

leaving Riyadh facing its worst military options ever.

Viewers, we move to this breaking news and to these live

Viewers, we move to this breaking news and to these live

images reaching us at this moment from the Yemeni capital,

Sana'a, where we are now following, live on air,

violent, violent and intense raids striking

the capital this evening. Friday evening, the ninth of

October 2026. The scale of the successive

explosions and columns of smoke covering the capital's sky

now confirms beyond any doubt that

A harsh night lies ahead. A very harsh night

and an exceptional one for Sana'a. But the most notable development

and the most dangerous one, which gives this night a strategic

weight entirely different, is what we are now hearing in reports

and information about the entry of Pakistani aircraft.

Yes, reports of Pakistani fighter jets breaching

Yemeni airspace and taking part in these strikes.

This means we are not talking about merely routine air raids.

We are talking about new parties entering and direct military

internationalization of the line of fire, in a development that could overturn

the entire regional calculus. We are also seeing these

live images coming from Taiz, where fierce and intense clashes are raging at this

moment on the outskirts of the city. Field coverage is tracking

a continuing Houthi ground advance, met by

successive withdrawals

and a sharp military retreat among the army forces,

which are rapidly evacuating their positions from

fronts that had constituted their main defensive lines.

What radically complicates this situation on the ground is confirmation

Our sources report that communication has been completely cut off from the central command.

These withdrawing forces have lost their guidance and communication lines,

effectively severing the military chain of command.

We are talking about units now moving in a state of

complete operational vacuum, facing this intense fire pressure

with no support or direct coordination from

operations rooms. It is a night that encapsulates all

the cruelty and weight of this war in Sana'a.

The sky roars with fire, and explosions deafen

the ears and blind the eyes. This tremendous din above the capital

is met by an even more terrifying silence there

on the ground in Taiz. The silence of the radios and the cutoff of the final calls

between the soldier and his command. This is

the true and most brutal face

of war, viewers.

Indeed, Raed. Meanwhile, we can see these

images documenting the entry of more than 120

Houthi military trucks and vehicles as they

storm into the heart of Taiz from the eastern axis.

Ansar Allah fighters are overrunning the strongholds

From the east of Taiz, with a massive military force

and a direct, unprecedented breach intensified

into the heart of the city. A heavy invasion is underway amid a

rapid, comprehensive collapse among army forces, whose

defenses are crumbling as they abandon their strategic

positions one after another, unbelievably.

What we are talking about here, viewers, is outright

betrayal. Yes, a full-fledged military betrayal.

The military factor explaining this rapid collapse is not the attackers' firepower, but

the defenders' withdrawal. Field reports confirm that

the defenders' withdrawal. Field reports confirm that

Reform Party forces carried out a sudden withdrawal

and pulled out their entire military weight toward

Aden, leaving Taiz's flank completely exposed

and vulnerable, with no defensive lines. In this

dangerous operational exposure, the central command centers

did not lose contact with their soldiers amid the fighting, but

the evidence indicates the leadership deliberately cut off communication

with the remaining personnel on the ground.

These soldiers were left completely without coverage, isolated

without any guidance or support, to face their fate

alone in the face of this relentless advance on a front

that seems to have fallen in the calculations of maps and shifting

alliances before it actually fell beneath the treads

of advancing vehicles. Now, let us return to the

major headline and the weightiest event of tonight.

The breaking and updated news coming in at this moment

confirms that entire military groups have fallen into

the hands of Ansar Allah fighters. But the real

earthquake this development brings is the definitive

confirmation that officers and personnel from the

Saudi forces are among these prisoners. According to the latest

details coming to us, these officers did not fall in

an even battle. Rather, their forward positions were overrun

after they suddenly found themselves exposed, without

fire support or backup, following the swift withdrawal

of their allies. Within just a few hours,

they went from field commanders managing the battle to

the most powerful military and political bargaining chip

the Houthis now possess. We are facing a night

Surreal in every sense. Foreign fighter jets

pound Sanaa's skies to establish air supremacy, while

on the ground in Taiz, the coalition collapses from within

and its cards fall, leaving its officers captive.

It is a night not measured by the amount of

explosives dropped, but by the alliances that

fell and the prisoners they produced, who will change

the shape of the maps and this war entirely.
