Saudi Coalition warship kills 18 fishermen off Yemeni coast
2018-09-19
“They wuz naught but poor, well-armed fishermen, Effendi, hired for the day to smuggle cargo for the Iranians.”
[AlMasdar] At least 18 Yemeni fishermen were killed, today, after a Saudi Coalition warship targeted their boats off the coast of Hodeidah.

According to the Saba News Agency, the Saudi Coalition targeted the Yemeni fishing boats near the al-Khokhah District, which is where the strategic port is located.

This latest attack by the Saudi Coalition comes as their allied forces prepare to storm the Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
positions around the Hodeidah Governorate.

Thus far, the Saudi-backed forces have managed to score new advances in the Kilo area; however, since Houthi reinforcements arrived, the latter has been able to reclaim several points they lost.
