The forces of the Saudi-led coalition and its paid-militias on Friday continued their violations of the cease-fire in the province of Hodeidah for the tenth day in a row.

According to a local source, the Saudi-paid militias launched this morning more than 100 shells and used machine guns on a farm west of the district of Tohita in a new violation of the Swedish agreement.

The source added that the Saudi-paid militias, fired at midnight on Friday, using machine guns on the city of Hodeidah from the east, and continued targeting the village of Shabaila east of the district of Tahita with medium weapons, while the forces of the US-backed coalition also launched 3 artillery shells and carpet-bombed with machineguns various areas east of the district.

At the same time, the Saudi Air Force continued to breach the cease-fire and launched a raid on the al-Husayniyah near the village of al-Qubei in the district of Beit al-Faqih, as well as hovered over the district of al-Hajila.

The spokesman of the Yemeni Army, Brigadier Yahya Sari, said Thursday evening that the mercenaries of the Saudi-led coalition committed 64 violations during the past 24 hours in conjunction with the continued hovering of reconnaissance aircraft over the city and over Salif, Kamaran and Al-Araj.

The ongoing violations of the cease-fire by the Saudi-led coalition and its forces of the United Nations declared cease-fire on the night of Tuesday, December 18, uncovers the real intent of the Saudi-led coalition to thwart the Swedish agreement and thus continue the aggression and crimes against the Yemeni people.
