The Saudi Arabia-led coalition resumed its airstrikes against Houthi positions in Yemen on Sunday despite the UN calls to resume truce active in the country for the past days, local media reported.
According to the SABA news agency, on Sunday morning the coalition conducted at least 9 airstrikes in various regions of Yemen. A ceasefire in Yemen started in the early hours of October 20 and lasted for 72 hours.
On Saturday, UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed urged all parties in the conflict in Yemen to extend the 72 hour cessation of hostilities for another three days.
The situation in Yemen remains extremely unstable since the start of a military conflict in 2014 between the government headed by Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and Houthi rebels, which are the country’s main opposition force.
At least 13 million Yemenis are in urgent need of aid, according to the United Nations.
