Talk of low Houthi weapon supply is ‘premature,’ expert warns

A top U.S. Air Force commander said American and allied retaliatory strikes on Iran-backed Houthi rebels has possibly degraded the group’s weapons and ammunition supplies.

"The challenge for us is understanding what the denominator was at the beginning. In other words, what did they have on hand to start with? We obviously know how much we have struck and we have assessments of how successful those strikes were," Grynkewich said.

Grynkewich also cited the group’s "pace of operations" in recent weeks, noting that it "is not what it once was" while cautioning that potential "Iranian resupply" could complicate evaluations of just how low the group is on weapons.
