The Yemeni Army destroyed a Navy ship and 331 machinery and armored vehicles, killing more than 1,300 paid fighters, including high ranking, while 12 ballistic missiles were fired. Six air force operations were launched during three weeks of escalation in #the West Coast, according to a Yemeni official.

 The achievements of the Yemeni Army were carried out after the speech of the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik on May 27, which called for the depletion of the coalition in #the West Coast, and until Wednesday, June 20th.
 
A large number of machineries were destroyed by the Air Force and guided ballistic missiles , as well as 1323 paid fighters has been killed and wounded, including commanders, while there are still a large number of dead and wounded who fell in the strikes of the Air Force and ballistic strikes ,it added.

Six operations of the Air Force during the same period and tweleve ballistic missile strikes took place. The US-Saudi-led coalition sustained losses as the Naval Forces in the Yemeni Army succeeded in destroying an Emirati warship off the coast in Hodeidah

Hodeidah is a strategic port city which should be supporting more than 20 million Yemenis. It should be the source of at least 70 percent of all imports to Yemen,” Suze van Meegen, a protection and advocacy adviser with the Norwegian Refugee Council, told AFP. The US-Saudi-led coalition has been eager to retake from Yemeni joint forces control, according to Yemeni officials.. But the former UN special envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheik, warned against attacking the port city over potential catastrophic consequences to Yemen last year. Martin Griffiths, the new special envoy to Yemen, echoed the same concern over attacking Hudaydah at the UN Security Council this week.

The Guardian British newspaper revealed the green light given by the US to the Arab alliance in the war on Yemen.

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.

 Now the excuses for our role in Yemen’s misery have fallen away entirely. The assault on Hodeidah by the Saudi- and Emirati-led coalition can only deepen the world’s worst humanitarian crisis; 70% of the country’s imports pass through the port, it added.

So they are doing it. They are conducting this war with British-, American- and French-made arms. They are conducting it with western military training and advice; British and US officers have been in the command room for airstrikes, and this weekend Le Figaro alleged that there are French special forces on the ground in Yemen. They are conducting it with diplomatic shelter from the west. On Friday, the UK and US blocked a Swedish drive for a UN security council statement demanding a ceasefire: “Britain, as the ‘penholder’ on Yemen at the UN security council, nevertheless takes a nakedly pro-Saudi approach to the conflict,” the former international development secretary Andrew Mitchell notes. Arms sales and security interests dictate, read it.
