Foreign Ministry: Coalition’s escalation on western coast still continuing

SANAA, July 1 (YPA) – The Foreign Ministry on Sunday said that the escalation of Saudi-led coalition on the western coast of Yemen is still continuing.

The ministry denied, in a statement, remarks of the UAE foreign minister about halting of Saudi-led coalition’s military campaign on the western coast.

“The UAE official’s statement comes within the misleading practiced by the coalition countries to trick the international public opinion and to cover up their failure in the western coast battle,” the ministry said.

The Yemeni army and popular forces still repel infiltration attempts of the invasion and occupation forces and their mercenaries, inflicting heavy losses on them, the statement added.

It pointed out that the national forces accepted a technical role of the United Nations in Hodeidah port in order to spare the city the destruction.

“The aggression countries, topped by the US, are the owner of the decision of war and peace in Yemen,” said the statement.
