Houthi violations ended Yemen truce: Foreign minister | Zee News
Riyadh: A Saudi-led coalition resumed airstrikes in Yemen on Monday after a five-day humanitarian pause because the Houthi militia and its allies violated the truce, Yemen`s Foreign Minister Reyad Yassin Abdulla said by telephone.
The coalition is not now considering any new ceasefire offer despite a United Nations plea to extend the truce, Abdulla said, but he added that the renewed strikes would avoid Sanaa airport and Aden and Hodaida seaports to let aid get in.

Kerry says Houthi movements make Yemen ceasefire "difficult" | Zee News
Seoul: US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday Washington supported extending a "humanitarian pause" in the fighting in Yemen, but that manoeuvres by Houthi fighters made that difficult.
"We know that the Houthis were engaged in moving some missile-launching capacity to the border and under the rules of engagement, it was always understood that if there were proactive moves by one side or another, then that would be in violation of the ceasefire agreement," Kerry told reporters in the South Korean capital.
"Saudi Arabia, under the rules of engagement, took action. We continue to support the idea of extending the humanitarian pause, but I think under the circumstances at the moment that would be difficult."
Since Tuesday, Saudi-led forces and the Houthi militias had largely observed the ceasefire meant to allow delivery of food, fuel and medical supplies to millions of Yemenis caught in the conflict since the alliance began air strikes on March 26.
Sporadic clashes had continued, however, with at least 15 killed overnight Saturday-Sunday in the cities of Taiz and Dhalea, residents said.

Saudi-led air strikes hit Yemen after truce expires| Reuters

Saudi-led forces resumed military operations in Yemen after a five-day ceasefire ended late on Sunday, and Yemen's foreign minister blamed the Iranian-backed Houthis for failure to renew the truce.
The end of the ceasefire came despite appeals by the United Nations and rights groups for extra time to allow the delivery of badly needed humanitarian supplies to the country of 25 million, one of the most impoverished in the Middle East.
"That's what we said before - that if they start again, we will start again," Yemeni Foreign Minister Reyad Yassin Abdulla told Reuters.
He said the coalition was not considering any new ceasefire but would not target air and sea ports needed for aid shipments.
Saudi-led forces conducted three air strikes on Yemen's northern Saada province on Monday, according to Houthi media. The Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television reported heavy shelling by Saudi forces at Houthi outposts across the border after the fighters fired mortars at an army post in Saudi Arabia's southern Najran province.
Earlier in the day, residents said that warplanes struck the Houthi-held presidential palace in Yemen's southern port of Aden as well as groups of militiamen on the western and eastern approaches to the city and the international airport where Houthis and local fighters have been clashing.
In the capital Sanaa, residents said Houthi anti-aircraft guns opened fire on Arab jets on Monday morning but there were no air strikes there.
There was no word on casualties in any of the incidents.
Saudi Arabia and its Sunni Muslim allies have been conducting an offensive against the Houthis and units loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh for more than six weeks, saying the rebels are backed by Shi'ite Muslim power Iran.
The campaign has yet to reverse the Houthis' advance into Aden and along battlefronts across Yemen's south.
A five-day truce that started on Tuesday night halted the air strikes and allowed humanitarian aid into the blockaded country.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday that Washington supported extending the truce, but that maneuvers by the Houthis made that difficult.
"We know that the Houthis were engaged in moving some missile-launching capacity to the border (with Saudi Arabia) and, under the rules of engagement, it was always understood that if there were proactive moves by one side or another, then that would be in violation of the ceasefire arrangement," he said.
STRIKES TO AVOID AID ROUTES
Iran's foreign minister on Monday called on the United Nations to take on a more active role in Yemen, including establishing a presence on the ground to ensure that humanitarian aid could be distributed.
"We believe the U.N. needs to create a protected zone in Yemen to receive humanitarian aid... it is time for the U.N. to take control of the situation," Mohammed Javad Zarif said through an interpreter in a televised news conference.
Two Iranian warships have begun escorting an Iranian cargo ship off Yemen's waters, the vessel's captain said in remarks published by Iran's Tasnim news agency on Monday.
The vessel is reportedly carrying aid to the Houthi-controlled port of Hodaida, but the Saudi-led coalition has imposed an arms embargo on Yemen's ports and air space and will likely block its path before its scheduled arrival on May 21.
The United Nations special envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed had called on Sunday for the five-day ceasefire to be extended during a meeting of Yemeni parties in the capital Riyadh which the Houthis did not attend.
A senior adviser to Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei said on Monday Saudi Arabia was an inappropriate venue for Yemeni reconciliation talks because it was not neutral.
Saudi-led forces, which have been conducting air strikes on Yemeni since March 26, have come under criticism after they targeted the runways of Sanaa and Hodaida airports.
The Yemeni foreign minister said resumed coalition air strikes would spare facilities needed to deliver aid supplies.
"They will keep places for aid to come. They will keep places safe like Sanaa airport, Hodaida seaport, Aden seaport. We will encourage and support any humanitarian aid to come in," he said.
Austrian energy group OMV, which operates from Yemen's central Masila oil field, on Monday declared force majeure for the blocks it operates in the country effective April 23.
The company cited security reasons for the move, after tribes believed to be linked with Yemen's al Qaeda branch seized much of the oil-rich area in Hadramout province last month.
Modest oil and gas exports have provided the bulk of GDP and threats to the industry add to the impoverished country's woes.
U.N. agency OCHA said on Saturday that 1,820 people have died in Yemen's conflict since March 19, and 7,330 have been wounded and over half a million have been displaced.

Are Yemen's Houthis still capable of launching ballistic missiles?
Recent footage coming out of Yemen's 'Amran Governorate indicate that despite the heavy bombing of Yemen's ballistic missile depots by the Saudi-led Coalition, the Houthis might still have the means to launch ballistic missiles at their disposal. The site housing the Group of Missile Forces of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Yemen was heavilyhitas part of Operation Decisive Storm, and the resulting explosions were thought to have resulted in the destruction of all of Yemen's ballistic missiles and associated launchers.
In fact, the Saudi Defense Ministry went as far to claim that it had ''successfully eliminated the threat to the security of Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries'', and was thus ending Operation Decisive Storm, replacing it by the more humanitarian-oriented Operation Restoring Hope.[1]
But now it appears that the threat, while however greatly diminished, is not yet completely eliminated. Avideo, depicting one of Yemen's Transporter Erector Launchers used for launching R-17 Elbrus (Scud-B) or Hwasŏng-5/6 ballistic missiles on a tank trailer underway in the 'Amran Governorate, North of Sana'a, during the Saudi-declared humanitarian truce leaves little doubt on that some launch systems have survived the Saudi-led bombing campaign, possibly while stored in residential areas if rumours prove to be true.
Jordanian security officials, one of the best, if not the best informed on security matters in the Middle East, recently claimed that Iran succeeded in supplying Yemen's Houthi rebels with ballistic missiles, reportedly of the Scud-B and Scud-C type.[2]This possible Iranian delivery in combination with the North Korean delivery of Hwasŏng-5 or Hwasŏng-6 missiles and launchers in the early 2000s means that the amount of ballistic missiles present in Yemen thus might have been much larger than originally thought, increasing the chances that at least some of the systems and missiles have indeed survived the bombing campaign, and may still be in operational condition.
Strangely enough, the Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) seen in the video is missing two of its four wheels on the right sight of the MAZ-543, which would greatly hinder or even prevent the launch of a ballistic missile.
Getting a missile to the TEL undetected will surerly also pose a great challenge for the Houthis, and increased monitoring of Yemen's major roads might prevent transport in broad daylight. Alternatively, the TEL might actually be underway to a location holding one or more missiles, instead of the other way around.
Although it remains to be seen if the Houthis are indeed capable of transporting and mating a missile to the handicaped TEL, and have the technical personnel or Iranian 'advisors' to get it all to work, the sudden appearance of the TEL in broad daylight makes one wonder what other equipment still survives, and serves as an indication that this war is still far from over.

Lol no, this tyrannical dictator is no friend of the Arabs. However, we are because they are our brothers. He is not even a member of the Arab league nor willing to, it is well known he detest them and why would he support Arabs when he is known to be a fierce anti-Muslim dictator or why would he and his cronies known as EPLF fought to finish the first independence movement (ELF)who began maintaining ties with Syria, Iraq and Egypt, trained and financed by them and had interest joining the Arab League (a laughable organization) and all of sudden, when they succeeded crushing the ELF (through Ethiopia, Israel and US support) then after the independence, he maintained his alliance with ISRAEL instead. If people learn what actually happened in the war then they would understand.
So please stop fooling others, the way you praise him is disgusting. 'Army? HA!, don't make me type another 200 word. The only reason why Saudi Arabia are interested because of the Islands to counter Iran's influence, there are 220 small Islands between Eritrea and Yemen, an important strategic to control the traffic entrance in the Red Sea, only 25km from each other and they are rented by Iran who use it for training the Houthis since all of the borders and seas are monitored by anti-Houthis. Saudi Arabia wanted to stop this and remove all their influence to stop them in Yemen. That's why they wanted to see him, not because of the diplomatic relations or whatever you think of.
Them handling the Islands is no big deal, let them do it but Eritrea involving in this, no. Not their business at all, I'm sure you know there are bigger problems to deal with.
