The Official Spokesman indicated that the continuous attempts by the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi militia to target civilians and civilian objects through UAV and remote-controlled explosive speedboat terrorist, hostile attacks emanating from (Hodeida) Governorate specifically in a time that the Coalition command is adhering to the ceasefire in (Hodeida) as defined by the Stockholm Agreement, the militia, in committing such hostile, terrorist acts, seeks to provoke Coalition forces into conducting military operations in (Hodeida) Governorate.
