Saudi-led coalition shelled citizens' homes with artillery.
On Saturday, a military official revealed to Saba news agency that the Saudi-led coalition and its mercenaries committed 124 breaches of the UN-brokered humanitarian and military truce in Yemen in the past 24 hours.
The coalition made 35 overflights with armed and spying reconnaissance aircraft in the airspaces of Marib, Hajjah, Jawf, Saada, and Taiz provinces.
The source confirmed that the Saudi-led coalition mercenaries established combat fortifications west of the Haradh area in Hajjah Province.
Saba cited the military official as saying, "12 violations were recorded by artillery shelling on citizens' homes and on the sites of the Army and Popular Committees in the village of Al-Zour and in Rawdat Sarwah in Marib Governorate, as well as on their sites in Al-Madafen and Al-Malahith areas in Saada Province and Al-Fakher area in Dhalea Province."
In addition, the official indicated that the coalition committed 76 violations by firing bullets at citizens' homes and at the Yemeni Armed Forces and Popular Committees sites in Marib, Saada, Taiz, Hajjah, and Dhalea provinces.
Since day one following its pledge to abide by the UN-brokered truce, the Saudi army has been violating the armistice despite international mediation, killing Wednesday two Yemeni citizens in Saada, northern Yemen.
