HODEIDAH, March 2 (YPA) -The Saudi-led coalition continues to violate the ceasefire in Hodeidah, while obstructing the implementation of the Sweden Agreement on the province.

The ongoing violations, crimes and breaches of the Swedish agreement committed by the coalition forces against the citizens of Hodeidah province have only escalated on Friday.

In the past 12 hours, the coalition and its militants have carried out artillery shelling and various machine gun shootings on several neighborhoods and villages of southern districts.

According to medical sources in Hodeidah province, three civilians and a woman were wounded by coalition gunfire and armed militants in Tuhita and Zabid districts.

Medical sources confirmed that they had received a wounded woman. She got shot in the chest by the militants in Nasseri region, and another man injured in the pelvis by sniper of the coalition in Jabliah area of Tuhita district.

Other medical sources said that in the Sadoor area of Zabid district, a civilian was shot in the arm by coalition forces.

Another civilian was wounded by a mortar shell fired by coalition militants on homes of citizens in Durihamy district.

These attacks and violations are being carried out against the backdrop of continued shelling and destruction of dwellings by the coalition forces, committed illegally and arbitrarily, and imposing collective punishment on the citizens.
