News - Yemen: Saudi-backed militants launched a massive advance south of the city of Marib, in a grave breach of the UN-brokered truce.

A military source told Almasirah Net that the fighters of the Army and Popular Committees are confronting the encroachment of the mercenaries of the aggression in Al-Wadi district.

The source pointed out that the advance of the Saudi-backed militants coincided with the intense flight of the spy fighter aircraft.

Last week, UN special envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg announced a two-month ceasefire that went into effect on April 2, saying the truce could be renewed with the consent of the parties.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the truce “must be a first step to ending Yemen’s devastating war,” urging the concerned parties to build on the opportunity to “resume an inclusive and comprehensive Yemeni political process.”

The deal stipulates halting offensive military operations, including cross-border attacks, and allowing fuel-laden ships to enter Yemen’s lifeline Hodeidah port and commercial flights in and out of the airport in the capital Sana’a “to predetermined destinations in the region.”

The mercenaries of the aggression continue their violations of the military truce and are attacking the positions of the Yemeni Army  on various fronts.

On the humanitarian side of the truce, the US-Saudi aggression is delaying the opening of Sana’a airport, as well as the delivery of oil ships to the port of Hodeidah.
