Yemeni sources said that the Houthi militia delegation participating in the second round of consultations in Jordan refused to open the main roads of Taiz, and wanted to pass its proposal to open secondary and dirt roads that are currently being built, and the sources confirmed that this proposal serves the Houthi military movements.

The sources expected that the UN Special Envoy for Yemen, the US envoy, and the ambassadors of the European Union would put pressure on the Houthis to implement the terms of the truce agreement on the roads in Taiz and other governorates, and that the coming period would witness a breakthrough in this file until the next stage of building the foundations for permanent peace in Yemen. .

The Yemeni government had stressed the importance of opening Taiz roads urgently and without any conditions, noting that its agreement to extend the truce comes in its keenness to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people, and to provide an opportunity for international and international efforts to resume the political process in accordance with the three references of the agreed solution.

In Taiz, hundreds of civilians continued to protest, demanding the opening of the main roads, while the governor of Taiz, Nabil Shamsan, said that the militias' attempt to open a secondary road to the city was a preemptive attempt to circumvent and divert the course of consultations.

In addition, field sources confirmed that the militias, during the past few hours, sent combat reinforcements to the fronts of Taiz, and in Sana'a, informed sources reported that there are Houthi movements to transfer weapons and qualitative combat equipment towards the fronts of Marib and the western coast of Yemen.

In Marib, field sources said that the militias continued their violations of the armistice and launched, during the past hours, separate attacks using missiles and artillery, towards Yemeni army positions on the southern front, concentrated in the "Ma'la" area between Harib and Juba.

According to the sources, the Houthi attacks led to the burning of two houses of civilians from the Al-Ghunaimi family, in addition to the burning of a food store on the outskirts of the liberated Harib District.

In Amran, north of Sanaa, the "Houthi - Houthi" confrontations continued in the "Adan" area of ​​the "Ayal Sarih" district, for the third day in a row, which caused the death of five Houthis.
