A video regarding the campaign and subsequent videos were posted on a Houthi telegram channel. The operation reportedly saw many causalities, the destruction of more than a dozen camps, liberation of a thousand square kilometers, the seizure of large quantities of weapons, the discovery of hundreds of explosive belts and explosive devices. The videos also highlight footage of multiple different nationality passports that the Houthis retrieved. For Islamic State Yemen (ISY) they claimed victory as well on the same day as Ansarallah.
