Head of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Rashad al-Alimi has visited the joint forces command of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen.

Alimi was received by the commander of the Joint Forces, Lt. Gen. Mutlaq al-Azima, and they discussed cooperation to support the Yemeni armed forces.

Alimi was briefed on the progress of joint operations, coordination mechanisms, and the current truce.

Saba news agency reported that Alimi heard a briefing on joint operations and coordination mechanisms with the Yemeni authorities and the coalition's countries to restore legitimacy.

They also discussed boosting cooperation and support for the Yemeni armed forces.

The visit also touched on a brief assessment of the UN-backed ceasefire, the violations of the Iranian-backed Houthi militias, and the Yemeni army's continued commitment to restraint to ensure the success of international efforts aimed at achieving peace and stability in the country.

Alimi praised the role of the coalition forces and the great sacrifices made under the leadership of Saudi Arabia.

The head of the council also thanked the Kingdom's leadership for standing by the Yemeni people to restore security and stability in the country.

Suspected US airstrikes battered Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen into Wednesday, with the militias saying that one strike killed at least four people near the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah.

The intense campaign of airstrikes in Yemen under US President Donald Trump, targeting the militias over their attacks on shipping in Mideast waters stemming from the Israel-Hamas war, has killed at least 65 people, according to casualty figures released by the Houthis.

The campaign appears to show no signs of stopping as the Trump administration again linked their airstrikes on the Iranian-backed Houthis to an effort to pressure Iran over its rapidly advancing nuclear program. While so far giving no specifics about the campaign and its targets, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt put the overall number of strikes on Tuesday at more than 200.

“Iran is incredibly weakened as a result of these attacks, and we have seen they have taken out Houthi leaders,” Leavitt said. “They’ve taken out critical members who were launching strikes on naval ships and on commercial vessels and this operation will not stop until the freedom of navigation in this region is restored.”

Overnight, a likely US airstrike targeted what the Houthis described as a “water project” in Hodeidah governorate's Mansuriyah District, killing four people and wounding others. Other strikes into Wednesday targeted Hajjah, Saada and Sanaa governorates, the militias said.
