Despite the state of concealment and secrecy that the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, is trying to deal with with the issue of its dead on the fronts, the official statistics published by the official Houthi media provide evidence of the extent of the losses that the militias have incurred in the recent period, especially on the Marib and Shabwa fronts.
