#1 Wouldn't this been seen or interpreted as the Houthis winning, not losing, in Yemen???

As a reminder, MEMRI.ORG > OWG CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN considers Yemen to be part of its "strategic depth", IMO also read "Sphere of Influence"???

#2 #1: On the other hand it can be seen as a move to provide the needed time to purge the Houthi minority, which is rather large, in Sanaa itself. While there are reports of Houthi successes along the border with Saudi Arabia, there is little reporting on Saudi efforts to bomb the Houthi homeland back to the Stone Age. Which would in fact take little bombing.
