The Arabnews reported, the Houthi militia has been accused of committing 277 breaches of the UN-brokered truce in the span of 48 hours across several Yemeni cities.

State news agency SABA reported referring to the Yemeni army that at least 12 army personnel were killed and 19 others were injured as a result of the violations.

The Military Forces' Media Center reported that 109 breaches were committed in areas located in southern Hodeida, 51 in Hajjah, 42 in Barh Military Pivot in western Taiz, 37 in Taiz Pivot, 24 in the southern, western and north-eastern parts of Marib, seven in Hazm Jawf, four in Dhale and three in Sa'adah's warfronts.

The Houthis also attempted to gain access to a military location in Dhale by shelling army posts using mortars and heavy fires.

Iran is widely accused of backing the Houthis, a Zaydi Shiite movement that has been fighting Yemen’s Sunni-majority government since 2004.

Houthis committed 2,158 violations against religious leaders aand mosques in 4 months

Yemeni officials and Sunni states have repeatedly alleged that Iran and its proxy Hezbollah have provided arms, training, and financial support to the Houthis.

The Houthis took over the Yemeni capital Sanaa in September 2014 and seized control over much of north Yemen by 2016.
