The Yemeni government condemned on Monday the latest Houthi escalatory measures in the Red Sea and called on the United Nations to take a clear position against the militias’ actions in the port of Hodeidah.

“We call on the UN envoy to take a clear position towards Houthis' continuous escalation and declare efforts for implementing the Stockholm agreement concerning the Houthi militias’ withdrawal from the city and its ports,” said Yemen's Information Minister Muammar al-Iryani.

He noted that the Houthi failed operation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait are an extension to the militia's terrorist crimes after the killing of Iranian leader Qassem Soleimani to implement Iran's destructive agenda in the region.

Quoted by the Saba news agency, the Minister spoke about the failed terrorist attack conspired by Houthi militia in the southern Red Sea, when they bombed a boat and planned its explosion by remote control from the Hodeidah Province, in addition to the laying of sea mines.

“Those actions confirm a new threat still posed by Houthi's presence in parts of the western coast on the navigation lines of international trade ships,” al-Iryani said.

He added that the militias’ presence also represents a threat to international security and peace.

“These terrorist crimes would not have been carried out had the Houthis not exploited the Sweden Agreement and controlled the ports and city of Hodeida,” the Information Minister said.

On Sunday, the Saudi-led coalition announced a military operation against Houthi targets in Yemen's capital Sanaa in response to Houthis' missile launch toward the Saudi border cities last Friday.

The coalition spokesman Turki Al Maliki said the Coalition foiled an attempted attack by the Houthi rebels using a remote-controlled exploding boat in the southern Red Sea.

Yemeni military sources said that in just one month, Houthis violated the truce some 3,000 times, leaving 24 civilians dead and more than 60 wounded. The militia group also destroyed 15 houses, seven farms and 22 vehicles.

Military spokesman for the western operations Waddah al-Dabish told Asharq Al-Awsat last week that Houthis have dug more than 170 tunnels and trenches around joint observation points in Hodeidah, deployed more than 113 artillery guns and continued to plant mines.
