Yemen: The army is monitoring the violations of the truce by the Houthi
The Houthi terrorist militia failed yesterday to launch a military-guided plane, which fell moments after taking off on the crowded Al-Ruwaishan street in the center of the capital, Sana’a, and caused civilian casualties.
Although everyone confirmed that Houthi militias were responsible for the drone, the Houthis quickly blamed the Saudi air force for the incident.
Yesterday, authorities of the pro-Iranian Houthi group announced that three citizens were killed and injured at the crash site.
Related to Houthi violations, the Yemeni National Army reported 65 Houthi militia violations of the UN truce on five main fronts within 24 hours.
A statement issued by the army, quoted by Saba yesterday, said that its forces in Hodeida, Taiz, Dhale, Hajjah and Marib had recorded 65 violations of the truce by Houthi militias.
The statement said Yemeni army and joint resistance forces repelled more than three ground attacks carried out by groups of Houthi militias targeting military sites south and west of Marib.
The remaining violations were committed by Houthi militias, including 21 in the Hays area south of Hodeida, 20 in the Taiz axis front, 9 in the Bahar area west of Taiz, 8 in Marib, 4 in the Hajjah province fronts and 3 in the Dhale axis front.
The Houthis have sent more than 65 patrols loaded with personnel and ammunition to their forward positions on the northern front of Taiz city in unprecedented reinforcements aimed at undermining Jordan’s consultations to lift the siege of Taiz, which is expected to begin next
“Houthi militias used Katyusha rockets, artillery and various vehicles, created positions, and deployed snipers on various fronts”, the statement said.
The Iranian-backed Houthi militia continues its violations on various fronts in an escalation against the UN-backed truce that came into effect on April 2, with only 10 days remaining.
This is a serious escalation in the face of the UN movement seeking to extend and build on the truce to launch a comprehensive peace process, as militias are using the fragile peace to regroup their military ranks and bring fighters to the lines of fire, experts said.
Houthi militias insist on fragmenting the humanitarian truce, and making no concessions to alleviate the suffering of Yemenis during the UN-backed truce.
The Houthi militias continue to deceive and manipulate the truce by using political blackmail to impose conditions they failed to achieve during the war by upholding their usual conditions for peace, which have not changed since 2015.
