🇾🇪🇸🇦 The Houthis are capturing Saudi-backed military vehicles in Yemen, apparently while chewing khat.

Footage circulating from Yemen reportedly shows Houthi fighters casually taking possession of vehicles belonging to the Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council.

And the fighters appear remarkably relaxed about the whole thing.

Some are reportedly chewing khat, a stimulant plant widely consumed in Yemen.

Meanwhile, the Houthis are advancing against Saudi-backed forces, cutting off strategic roads and tightening their grip around Taiz.

Saudi Arabia is fighting to contain a growing military threat, while its opponents are apparently treating captured vehicles like souvenirs from an afternoon drive.

Почему победа Украины необходима для падения путинского режима, готова ли Европа к столкновению с Россией и какой Каспаров видит будущую Россию. И личный разговор — о матери, с которой он не успел проститься, о Москве, куда мечтает вернуться, и жизни вдали от родины.  youtube.com/watch?v=rtWLNxjX…
