在原本被称为对胡塞武装控制的首都萨那发动决定性进攻的行动演变为军事溃败后，效忠于也门国际承认政府的部队正在展开调查。这些部队非但没有推进，反而有超过15个旅被击溃，估计有3万名战斗人员撤退，胡塞武装则趁机控制了该国整个西海岸，包括约在9月10日陷落的摩卡港市。溃败的规模和速度引发了外界对反胡塞联盟协调、战备状态和士气的尖锐质疑。
一些也门政界人士声称，有人支付了数十亿美元以说服防守西海岸的部队放弃阵地，但这些说法尚未得到独立核实。诺贝尔和平奖得主塔瓦库尔·卡曼呼吁对此次撤退展开正式调查。摩卡的一名政治活动人士将撤出这座港口城市形容为对曾经保卫它的战斗人员和平民的背叛。
反胡塞武装及其得到沙特支持的盟友目前正努力重新整编，并试图夺回巴布厄尔曼德海峡附近的制高点，该海峡是全球航运的战略要道。此次溃败是这个国际承认政府自战争开始以来遭遇的最重大挫折之一，也加大了外界要求其领导层解释这场攻势为何如此迅速瓦解的压力。
