Yemen’s army says Saudi Arabia has increased its attacks in breach of a UN-brokered truce in the port city of Hudaydah.
Army spokesman Brigadier Yahya Sariyah told media that the Saudis have violated the Hudaydah ceasefire 223 times since December 17, when the truce took effect.
The ceasefire violations included 51 missile attacks, 155 cases of artillery fire and shelling as well as infiltration attempts, he added.
Saudi warplanes, Sariyah said, continue to fly intensely over Hudaydah. Over the past 48 hours, they have conducted 42 air raids on the provinces of Sa’ada, al-Jawf and Ma’rib.
Yemeni fighters, meanwhile, have clashed with Saudi mercenaries, killing and injuring dozens of them.
