UN observers warn of Houthi step-up in Hodeidah

AL-MUKALLA: UN observers in Hodeidah have urged the Iran-backed Houthis to cut back their “important” presence within the western Yemeni metropolis, warning that any navy motion would threaten the UN-brokered ceasefire and Stockholm Settlement. 

The UN Mission to help the Hodeidah Settlement, or UNMHA, stated that it has seen massive deployments of Houthi fighters within the metropolis, elevating fears of navy exercise that might undermine a fragile truce within the nation.
