No, the Aogiri Raid became a failure once they discovered that the entire raid itself was set up as a diversion by Aogiri. They weren't even thinking of defending Cochlea because they didn't expect it to be attacked, and expended a large amount of manpower taking out a base that had already been sacrificed. That's why Eto and Tatara were calling them stupid at the end of the arc for having fallen for such a simple trick.

And the Anteiku Raid was a complete failure. They had discerned there were two Owls, but their main target was Eto, not Yoshimura. It just happened that an unknown lead led them to Anteiku as the Owl's hiding place, but they didn't know which Owl it was. That's why when they'd defeated Yoshimura and Eto showed up, Ui said this one was "The real objective." So, not only did they fail to defeat Eto, they let her kidnap Yoshimura. Yoshimura left alone was no danger to humans, but in Aogiri's hands he's a disaster. So, yeah, they lost both of those battles, badly.
