Houthi militias insist on stepping up violations of the UN-sponsored military and humanitarian truce. Their attacks on different fronts coincided with the Iran-backed group waging an aggravated campaign of oppression in Sanaa and other areas under its control, local and human rights sources reported.
“Houthi militias committed 230 violations of the UN armistice between 19-20 August on the fronts of the governorates of Hodeidah, Taiz, Al-Dhalea, Hajjah, Saada, Al-Jawf and Marib,” Yemeni army media reported on Sunday.
In total, at least 72 violations were reported in Hodeidah, 77 in Taiz, 40 in Hajjah, 26 in Marib, 10 in al-Jawf, three in Al-Dhale and two in Saada.
Military media confirmed that army forces, during the past hours, had succeeded in repelling an infiltration attempt by armed groups affiliated with the terrorist Houthi militia at military sites east of Al-Hazm city in Al-Jawf Governorate.
The rest of the Houthi violations varied between shooting at army positions with artillery, deploying snipers and launching explosive drones. Houthi assaults resulted in the death of one soldier and the injury of 11 others.
Yemeni military media also accused Houthi militias of continuing to create sites, dig trenches, construct secondary roads, and deploy reconnaissance drones on various battlefronts.
The Yemeni government blames the deaths and injuries of more than a thousand people on Houthi truce violations. It is noteworthy that the truce went into effect on the second of last April.
Moreover, Houthi militias have been accused last week of committing 467 violations to the UN-brokered truce over the span of five days.
This included 122 violations in Hodeida’s Hais, 94 in south, west and north-west of Marib, 85 in Taiz, 82 in Barh, 51 in west Hajjah, 21 in Jawf warfronts, eight in Dhale and four violations in Saadah, according to Yemen’s state news agency SABA.
Militia members have been accused of trying to infiltrate military positions in Marib and the western coast, opening fire and shelling army positions in all warfronts.
Reports suggest bomb-laden drones were also directed at army positions killing 13 military personnel and injuring 27 others.
