The Arab Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said on Sunday that Houthi allegations of shelling on the Saadah districts of Shada and Munabbih are “baseless”.

“What is being circulated comes within the context of ongoing Houthi allegations in areas under its control that represent hotspots for disputes،” the Spokesman for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Brig. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki said.

The statement also said that crime was rife in areas managed by the Houthis.

The coalition said it supported efforts to stabilize the truce in Yemen that ended in October 2022، and that it exercised the highest levels of restraint in light of continued Houthi violations on the border with Yemen and inside the country.

The Yemeni war has killed in excess of 150،000 people according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project. The fighting has turned Yemen into one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises، pushing the Middle East’s poorest nation into near famine.
