Saudi-led coalition launches military operation north of Hodeidah in Yemen claiming 'legitimate military targets'
Official spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, Colonel Turki Al-Malik speaks during a news conference, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. September 16, 2019.
"These sites are used to carry out attacks and terrorist operations that threaten shipping lines and international trade in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the southern Red Sea," coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki said in a statement. The Hodeidah ceasefire and troop redeployment agreement was reached last year at peace talks in Sweden, as a trust-building measure to pave the way for talks to end the war, but stalled for months before the Houthi withdrawal from three Red Sea ports.
"We had forgotten the raids and fear and slept for months in peace. ... But tonight the sounds of explosions and planes frighten us as they continue to fly across the city's skies," resident Mohammed Abdullah told Reuters.
