The US-backed Saudi-led coalition warplanes on Monday resumed launching air strikes on several parts of Yemen’s western Hodeida province, a security official told Yemen Press agency.
According to the official, the fighterjets carried out five raids on the northern part of the city, while an airstrike hit Faza area of Tuhayat district, bringing the number of airstrikes against the province to 19 in the past few hours.
The official pointed out that the bombing caused extensive damage to homes.
He warned that the army and popular committees will not remain idly by in the face of the dangerous escalation by the forces of coalition in Hodeida.
The official blamed the United Nations and its special envoy for the collapse of the Swedish agreement, particularly as this escalation coincides with the presence of Martin Griffiths, the UN Special Envoy for Yemen, in Sana’a.
Since midnight on Sunday, the Saudi-led coalition warplanes launched 13 raids on the northern coastal districts of Hodeida and Kamaran Island, three of them on Ras Issa oil facility in al-Salif district, leaving material and human casualties.
