The Saudi-led coalition fighting rebels in Yemen said Saudi air defense units intercepted multiple missiles fired from inside Yemen toward the kingdom’s southwest border city of Jizan on Monday.
The truce was set to be renewed for one week, a day after the Saudi-backed government and Iran-backed rebels wrapped up peace talks in Switzerland without any breakthrough.
The government troops advanced across the border from Saudi territory after training there for months. A member of the Houthi delegation said United Nations special envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed had promised to condemn the government and then he did not.A government delegate said: They are using the cease-fire as an excuse although they were the first to break it. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
They have fired several ballistic missiles against Saudi targets in response to devastating airstrikes by the coalition in most of Yemeni provinces.
The coalition’s warplanes and troops have been supporting forces in Yemen loyal to President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi against the Huthis and troops loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Clashes have been common along the border with Saudi Arabia, where rebel strikes have killed more than 80 people since March.
Saturday’s missile attack comes after the Saudi-led coalition announced that two ballistic missiles were launched [last] Friday into the Gulf Kingdom from Yemen, notes the Saudi Gazette.
The coalition said all missiles were intercepted by its patriot system.
The group criticized the United Nations saying it is not serious abut putting an end to the war against Yemenis.
In March, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies began an extensive air campaign aimed at reversing Houthi military gains in Yemen and restoring Hadi’s embattled government.
