The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen had confirmed earlier today that the port of Hodeidah is used by the Houthi militia as a landing station for foreign fighters and ballistic missiles.
The coalition also called on the United Nations to ensure that foreign fighters do not flow and weapons reach Hodeidah, stressing that it will “move operationally for self-defense and military necessity when the militarization of the ports continues.”

For his part, the UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced today, Wednesday, before the UN Security Council, that an investigation is underway into the Houthis’ use of the Hodeidah port for military purposes.
This comes following the coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen presented, last Saturday, evidence proving the Houthi militia’s use of the ports of Hodeidah and Saleef for military purposes.
Pictures and guides
He also showed, during a press conference, pictures of a Houthi military test area near the Salif port, pointing out that the militias are testing booby-trapped boats near the port.
He explained that the militias are using the Iranian “Noor” missile system to target ships off Hodeidah, presenting evidence of boat booby-traps and their experience to threaten international navigation.
It is noteworthy that this evidence of the coalition came following the militias hijacked one of the Emirati cargo ships early last week, which was carrying medical equipment, supplies and aid to the island of Socotra.
