The Houthis supposedly infiltrated Infantry units in to KSA itself to conduct ambushes and when they realized they had caught the Saudis completely off guard, they launched an all out offensive killing 500+ KSA soldiers and capturing thousands more. BBC is reporting 3 Brigades of KSA soldiers surrendered.
KSA is in big trouble either way and if the reports are correct, this might be their Dien Bien Phu moment.
Yemen's Houthi rebels release Saudi attack video
Saudi Arabia has not yet responded to the Houthi claim that 500 of its forces were killed or wounded in major attack.
Yemen's Houthi rebels on Sunday broadcast footage they said was of a major attack into Saudi Arabia that killed or wounded 500 soldiers with thousands of others surrendering.
Yahya Saree, a Houthi military spokesman, described an ambush on the Saudi forces that then developed into an "all-out" cross-border offensive that trapped the troops inside Saudi Arabia.
"More than 200 were killed in dozens of [missile and drone] strikes while trying to escape or surrender," Saree said.
The fighting took place in the southern region of Najran with video images aired showing armoured vehicles hit by blasts and surrendering soldiers.
