Houthi leader calls for stopping rocket launching towards Saudi Arabia

Houthi leader Mohammed Ali al Houthi said his group is ready to stop launching rockets towards Saudi Arabia and to halt all military operations.

In a statement, the head of the so-called “Houthi Supreme Revolutionary Committee”, in a statement, said “we are ready to freeze and stop military operations on all fronts and come to a fair peace.”

Yemen has been gripped by a civil war between President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi’s government and the Shiite Houthi movement since 2015.

The government is backed by the Saudi-led coalition that has been carrying out airstrikes that target areas controlled by the Houthis since March 2015.
