Brig. Gen. Ahmed bin Hasan Asiri, Consultant at the Minister of Defense's Office and Spokesman of the Coalition Forces, said that the Coalition Forces are now focusing on attacking the pro-Houthi militia brigades, noting that, at the same time, many brigades, once joining the Houthi militias, have abandoned their ranks, citing brigade 90 marines, and reiterated his call for other brigade commanders to come back to the support for legitimacy to evade the coalition airstrikes. In his daily press briefing held this evening at Riyadh Airbase, Asiri said the Houthi militias are now lacking command and control and that the leading hierarchy associated with the deposed president Ali Abdullah Saleh has turned to be cut off leaving the Houthi militias to launch random individual operations to achieve personal gains at the expense of the security and safety of Yemen and its citizens. --More 21:48 LOCAL TIME 18:48 GMT تغريد
