Revealing death of prominent Houthi leader from army fire west of Taiz

Taiz, Yemen ·

Talal Mohammed Ali Saeed, known as Abu Nasr al-Shamiri, died of wounds from army fire during battles at the old airport front west of Taiz city. He was described as the Houthi commander of the Taiz front, and the report says he falsely claimed the rank of brigadier general.

Yemen's Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of the north, while government forces hold other areas, and Taiz has been a front line between the two sides.
