Aden, May 05, 2022, SPA -- The Yemeni government has called on the United Nations and its Special Envoy, Hans Grundberg, to take serious and real action to deter the ongoing and escalating Houthi militia's violations of the truce since the first moments of its entry into force. The official Yemeni news agency (Saba) quoted an official government source as saying, "The escalation of the blatant Houthi militia's attacks, which culminated in targeting the Taiz Security Department with drones, yesterday, which led to the injury of 10 people, including civilians, material damage and panic among children and families celebrating Eid Al-Fitr in the nearby park". The source stressed that the Houthi militia's repeated violations of the UN truce put the United Nations and the international community to a real test of its seriousness in putting pressure on the Houthi militia to respond to peace efforts. It pointed out that the continuation of the Houthi militia's terrorist attacks and its failure to respect the humanitarian truce being patronized by the United Nations from the first moments of its entry into force, and its repudiation of the implementation of the existing obligations under the truce, foremost of which is lifting the siege on Taiz, represent the approach and behavior of the militia and its supporters in undermining all opportunities for peace and a political solution to the Yemeni crisis. The government source also stressed the need to immediately lift the siege on Taiz Governorate, in accordance with the terms of the truce. --SPA 12:03 LOCAL TIME 09:03 GMT 0006 www.spa.gov.sa/w1729043
