Houthis rebels continues to violate Yemen Truce
A new episode in the series of violations of the truce declared by the Houthi terrorist group in early April: the Iranian-backed militia committed military violations in the governorates of Marib in north-eastern Yemen and Hodeida in western Yemen.
Yemen ShababNet quoted military sources as saying: “The militia attacked the National Army positions at the sand and mountain axes south of Marib, but the army repelled the Houthi offensive and inflicted heavy losses on the militia, noting that the Houthi attack leader and several other fighters were killed in the fighting that followed”.
In Hodeida province, joint forces media revealed that Houthi militias were planting new quantities of mines in areas under their control at the Jarabi Heis line, south of Hodeida.
The minefields laid by Houthi militias on the Surgical-Heis line included the villages of “al-Bazzaz, Qoraybah, Shahid, mosques, Shuaib and al-Zein”, he said.
This is a continuation of the Houthi militia’s violations of the UN-brokered truce in Yemen, where official reports indicate the militia has committed more than 3,000 breaches.
In early April, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced a renewable two-month truce in Yemen, which includes halting offensive military operations by land, sea, and air inside Yemen and across its borders, and facilitating the entry of 18 ships carrying fuel into Hodeida ports.
The UN truce also includes two flights to and from Sanaa International Airport per week, and a meeting was held between the parties to agree on opening roads in Taiz and other governorates to improve the freedom of movement of people inside the country.
