BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:10 P.M.) - Heavy clashes broke out inside of the strategic city of Hodeidah this evening, despite the fact the United Nations announced a new ceasefire in the province on Thursday.

According to a report from Hodeidah, Gulf-backed troops launched a new attack against the Houthi forces inside the provincial capital, prompting both sides to engage in a fierce fight for the city.

No advances have been made by either side; however, these new clashes threaten to end this fragile ceasefire just days after it was announced.

The U.N. Yemeni peace talks in Swede were considered a success as all parties agreed to reopen the Sana'a International Airport and impose a province-wide ceasefire in Hodeidah.

What can you expect? The Saudis are treacherous and deceitful, while the Emiratis have the morals of a snake. It was inevitable that they would attempt some back-stabbing maneuver.
