    Well fuck, they seem slightly less gathered now.

    After watching so many videos of the Russo-Ukrainian war, it’s weird to see that many people in one place.

    YYMV on how much credence you want to put into this, but multiple MENA Telegram channels I track offered this context:

    The ‘tribal gathering’ angle is corroborated by this from 2019, but tbh it’s a news site solely about Yemen… written in English, ergo for an international audience.

    Like another lemming said, if this was Houthi rebels - who have endured a decade plus of Saudi air strikes - why gather so many, out in the wide open?

    assuming that these trucks are hilux-sized, the oval they’re standing in is some 25-30m long, and there’s no more than some 20m between crater and farthest houthi. i wonder what was that thing, SDB? are these drone carried these days?

      if these were houthis, that is, because after decade+ of airstrikes they would presumably learn to not do something like this
