Coalition commits 231 violations in Hodeidah cease-fire over 48 hours: Army Spokesman

SANAA, Feb. 18 (YPA) – The Saudi-led and its militias have committed 231 violations of UN-brokered cease-fire in Hodeidah over the past 48 hours, Yemen’s army spokesman Yahya Sarie said in a statement on Monday.

“The violations included firing a missile, 125 artillery shells, and 66 medium and light weapons fire which targeted houses and farms of the citizens and army’s sites in several districts of Hodeidah,” Sarie said.

The spokesman confirmed that the army monitored 27 reinforcements operations and establishing new fortification of the militias toward several areas in the province, while the Saudi-led coalition warplanes and reconnaissance aircraft continued to fly intermittently over the sky of Hodeidah city and a number of districts.

The spokesman said the coalition’s ongoing violations would obligate Swede agreement, holding the coalition the full responsibility for an attempt to fail the cease-fire.

He added that the coalition warplanes waged 32 raids on separate districts of Yemen’s provinces.
