The Yemeni government called on the international community to pressure the Houthis to push them to abide by the truce announced at the beginning of this month.
Yemen's permanent representative to the United Nations, Abdullah Al-Saadi, affirmed the Yemeni government's commitment to the truce announced by the United Nations Special Envoy to Yemen, especially allowing the entry of oil derivatives ships through the port of Hodeidah and opening Sanaa Airport for commercial flights at a rate of two flights per week.
Al-Saadi stated that these efforts were met with violations by the "blatant and continuous Houthi militias of the armistice", and their continued attacks on Ma'rib and other Yemeni cities with ballistic missiles and drones.
He added that this matter requires the international community and the Security Council to put pressure on the Houthi militias to stop their aggression and to abide by the armistice that forms the basis for achieving a comprehensive ceasefire.
It is noteworthy that the UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced on the first of this April that the parties to the conflict had agreed to a two-month truce that could be extended, which began the next day, with a previous welcome from the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition.
In a related context, the Houthi group announced the killing of 6 of its officers in confrontations with government forces backed by the Saudi-led coalition.
The Houthis' "Saba" news agency reported that the six officers were killed in the "battle to defend the homeland", referring to the confrontations with the legitimate government forces.
The agency did not say when or where they were killed.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia renewed its support for efforts to achieve peace in Yemen, during the meeting of the President of the Presidential Leadership Council in Yemen, Rashad Al-Alimi, with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz in Riyadh yesterday, Wednesday.
During Al-Alimi's first visit to Riyadh since the formation of the Presidential Council, King Salman affirmed his country's support for the Presidential Council in Yemen and efforts to achieve peace in Yemen.
On the seventh of April, Saudi Arabia announced the provision of two billion dollars, equally with the UAE, in support of the Central Bank of Yemen, in addition to providing one billion dollars for development projects and supporting the purchase of fuel in Yemen.
Since September 2014, Yemen has witnessed a war between the legitimate government and the Houthis, who took control of the capital, Sanaa, followed by the resort of Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi and his government to Riyadh.
