Yemen.. Militias violate the Hudaydah truce and threaten international navigation

A number of Yemeni and international actors condemned the recent escalation of the Houthi militia, represented by the display of force on the western coast of Yemen, and considered it a clear violation of the UN armistice, and a serious threat to the international navigation movement in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.

The UN mission in Hodeidah described the Houthi show of force as a violation of the Stockholm Agreement, and expressed its concern about this, calling on the militias to respect all their obligations, especially with regard to maintaining the city free of armed manifestations.

For his part, Houthi leader Jalal Al-Ruwaishan mocked the UN mission's statements, saying that they were "just messages of appeasement to the coalition countries, as we have known them."

The militia had brought many of its elements and combat mechanisms to Hodeidah and carried out a display of those combat pieces and its elements in one of the areas overlooking the western coast, declaring that it had the ability to strike any target in the Red Sea, which is a serious threat to international navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.

This review of the Houthi force in Hodeidah coincides with the tireless efforts of the United Nations to expand and extend the armistice agreement for the longest possible period, allowing it to supervise the transition to a comprehensive political process that achieves peace in Yemen.

On the other hand, the Houthi militias continued their violations of the armistice on the fronts of the western coast, Marib, Taiz and Al-Dhalea, as they attacked the joint forces' positions in the south of Hodeidah, which led to the injury of two soldiers.

The military media of the joint forces on the west coast stated that it had monitored 74 violations of the armistice in the south of Hodeidah and west of Taiz, during the past few hours, in which various types of weapons were used, including drones.

In Marib, the Yemeni army forces captured the Houthi leader, nicknamed "Abu Kataib", with four of his companions, while they were trying to infiltrate the army's positions in the southern axis.
