The Houthi group in Yemen today accused the Saudi-Emirati coalition of launching eight air strikes on the Hajjah and Al-Jawf governorates (north of the country), while the UN envoy presented proposals on a ceasefire.
Al-Masirah channel, affiliated with the Houthis, stated that the "aggression" (Saudi-Emirati Alliance) aircraft launched six air strikes on the Haradh district of Hajjah, which is linked to land borders with Saudi Arabia.
She added that the same aviation launched two air strikes on the district of Khub and Al-Shaab, the largest directorates of Al-Jouf.
In the same context, the UN Special Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths said that he briefed all parties about proposals on a ceasefire and economic and humanitarian measures to alleviate the suffering of the Yemenis, and urged them to accept them without delay to start a formal political process.
Griffiths also said the proposed agreements are balanced, and represent a realistic and comprehensive package for taking a historic step toward peace.
The international envoy said that recording the first infection in Yemen with the Coronavirus makes the urgent need to stop the fighting.
On the other hand, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo welcomed the unilateral decision of the Saudi-Emirati coalition in Yemen to cease fire.
Pompeo said that the Yemeni people deserve to live in peace, and urged, in his Twitter account, the Houthis to respond to the Saudi declaration, and to cooperate with the United Nations envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths, who invited the Yemeni parties to urgent talks.
