"The Houthi militias continue to violate the Stockholm agreement and the ceasefire in Hudaydah, as well as to use the province as a site for launching hostilities and terrorist operations", Col. Turki al-Maliki said, as quoted by state news agency SPA.
According to al-Maliki, such actions pose a major threat to the regional and international security, as well as undermine political efforts to implement the 2018 Stockholm peace treaty, under which the warring parties agreed to a ceasefire in the port of Hudaydah, an exchange of prisoners and the establishment of humanitarian corridors in the area.
Yemen has been engulfed in an armed conflict between the government forces, led by President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, and the Houthi movement for over five years now.
Since March 2015, the Saudi-led Arab coalition, working in cooperation with Hadi’s forces, has been conducting air, land and sea operations against the militants, who control the capital of Sanaa and large areas in northern and western Yemen.
