RIYADH, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Saudi-led coalition hinted on Thursday the end of the ceased-fire in Yemen by announcing steps against Houthi violations, local news Al Arabiya reported.
The announcement was made hours after the beginning of the UN-brokered 72-hour cease-fire that started at 11:59 p.m. local time (2059 GMT) on Wednesday.
It came as a response to military activities by Houthi militants at Saudi-Yemeni borders, including an attack that injured a Saudi man and his daughter in Jazan region.
At least 24 violations were reported at the borders on Wednesday, according to Al Arabiya.
The coalition spokesperson Major-General Ahmed Al Asiri told local TV that the attacks didn't stop since the beginning of the truce.
