Yemeni army fired 12 ballistic missiles at US-Saudi-led coalition within three weeks in #the Western Coast, according to a Yemeni official.
The ballistic missiles hit their targets with high precision, it said.
The Yemeni army caused heavy losses on the coalition forces and their paid fighters, it added.
Notably, an Emirati barge and over 331 military vehicles had been destroyed and many Emirati drones were shot down.
In addition , army’s drones carried out six air operations against targets in the coalition’s camps at Yemen’s coast during the same period.
Hodeidah and its environs are among the most severely harmed by the blockade and the threat of famine, the civilians living there are also at risk of being bombed for no reason. There is no excuse for bombing this house and killing these civilians. This attack is a gross violation of international law and a war crime, and the governments responsible for it should be held accountable. This is what the coalition does with the refueling and weapons that the U.S. provides them. Refueling coalition planes just makes it easier for them to carry out more outrageous attacks like this one.
Abdulmalik al-Houthi, the leader of the Houthi(Ansarallah) movement, which is the main force that faces the coallition, said on a TV speech ,” The decision of invading the Yemeni ,western coast, has been taken and adopted by the United States of America,noting that the Saudis are trying to abolish Yemen’s freedom,” stressing that it was the people of Yemen’s right to defend their country.
“We are increasingly concerned by the fighting in Hodeidah,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a press conference held on Wednesday.
Dujarric also warned of the repercussions’consequences on the humanitarian situation
“The occurrence of a battle in Hodeidah, in the west of Yemen could lead to the destruction of the port, which in turn will send millions to starvation,” said the British newspaper, The Independent.
Even if the UK warned against attacking the vital port of Hodeidah, we bear responsibility for the horrors of this war, according to a report issued by the Guardian on June 17.
UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta H. Fore on Wednesday warned of an attack on the Yemen’s Red Sea city of Hodiedah by Saudi-led coalition states, a statement received by Yemen Press Agency.
In the statement, the UNICEF said at least 300,000 children currently live in and around the city, who have been suffering for so long already.
