While peace talks are under way in Stockholm, the air forces of the Saudi coalition inflict airstrikes on Hussites
Despite the ongoing peace negotiations in Stockholm to resolve the situation in Yemen, the coalition air forces led by Saudi Arabia, as transmits Lebanese news agency Al-Masdar News continued to strike at the positions of Yemeni rebels.
In total, for the 2 of the day this week, the coalition air forces launched more than 50 airstrikes, mainly on targets in the provinces of Sa'ad, Hodeidah, Hajj, Taiz and Marib.

According to the provisions of the adopted document, the parties mutually withdraw their units from Hodeida, and this port is placed under international control of the UN in order to ensure humanitarian supplies of food, drinking water and medicines.
“Today we have witnessed a turning point that is extremely important for a future political settlement in Yemen,” said A. Gutterish.
