The UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, continued his consultations in Sanaa for the second day in a row, and said that there is an opportunity to consolidate the temporary truce and turn it into a comprehensive cease-fire to reach a peaceful political settlement, stressing that the Yemeni people deserve all support after the suffering they have suffered.

Sources in Sana'a indicated that the Houthi militias are putting obstacles in the way of the continuation of the truce, and they have continued their violations of the UN truce, on the fighting fronts in the governorates of Taiz, Hodeidah, Hajjah, Al-Jawf and Marib.

According to the official Yemeni news agency "Saba", the Yemeni army forces detected 81 new violations committed by the militias during the past hours, which varied between infiltration attempts in the Hays axis in Hodeidah, and in the Faliha front south of Marib, and the creation of sites in the Hailan Mountains and the installation of ballistic missile launchers.

On the western coast, the spokesman for the joint forces, Wadah Al-Dubaish, confirmed that the forces had repelled a large Houthi attack towards the Hays axis, and the Houthis had incurred heavy losses.

In Lahj, the spokesman for the Qabita Front, Ali Montaser Al-Qabati, said that the militias continued their violations of the truce and sent combat reinforcements and heavy weapons to several areas, and continued to build barricades and dig trenches.

In Sana'a, informed sources confirmed that the Houthis transferred missiles and drones from Al-Dailami Air Base near Sanaa Airport, towards separate fronts in Saada, Al-Jawf, Marib and Hajjah, while two women were injured, one of them seriously, as a result of the explosion of a mine left by the Houthis in the Nehm district.
