Forces of the Saudi-led military coalition and their mercenaries are reported to have violated 116 times during the past 24 hours a ceasefire agreement between warring sides for the western coastal province of Hudaydah.

Al-Masirah television network, citing an unnamed source in Yemen’s Liaison and Coordination Officers Operations Room, reported that the violations included more than a dozen reconnaissance flights over various regions, including Hays, al-Jarrahi and al-Jabaliyah neighborhoods, in addition to 58 counts of artillery shelling and 36 shooting incidents.

Saudi warplanes launch fresh airstrikes across Yemen, continue ceasefire violations

Saudi warplanes have launched a new round of airstrikes against various residential neighborhoods across war-ravaged Yemen.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of fugitive former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power and crushing the popular Ansarullah resistance movement.

The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.

Despite heavily-armed Saudi Arabia’s incessant bombardment of the impoverished country, the Yemeni armed forces and the Popular Committees have grown steadily in strength against the Saudi-led invaders and left Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.
