Military sources in the joint forces revealed serious developments and Houthi militias disavow the mechanism of calm and proliferation and control points in the city of Hodeidah.

On Sunday, Houthi militias staged a dramatic escalation by targeting directly at checkpoints at the Engineering College and the Thabet Brothers compound.

According to the West Coast Joint Forces spokesperson, Colonel Waddah Al-Dabeish, the militias resorted to reporting without going through the mechanism and without the Joint Liaison Officers' Committees knowledge about the presence of government forces in Kilo 16, the fourth observation point.

"The Houthi breach comes in time of the visit of the group's spokesman, Mohammad Abdul Salam, to Tehran and his meeting with Mohammad Javad Zarif, who directed the Houthi militia not to abide by any ceasefire unless the siege on the Houthi militia is expressly lifted and recognized as a fait accompli," Waddah al-Debaish said.  .
