The coalition spokesman also said that the Houthi militia is using Hodeida governorate as a base to launch ballistic missiles, armed drones, explosive-laden boats, as well as the random deployment of sea mines in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a violation of the provisions of the Stockholm ceasefire agreement. “The coalition will continue to implement all rigorous, deterrent measures against the terrorist militia, and neutralize, destroy such capabilities that pose a threat to regional and international security,” Al-Maliki warned.
