RIYADH, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Saudi-led coalition announced on Friday that its military operations in Yemen will continue until all Yemeni's territories come under the power of the elected government, Nabdh Al Hadath online local news reported.

The Spokesperson of the coalition, Maj. Gen. Ahmed Al Asiri, said that the Yemeni port of Hodeidah had been transformed to a military base by Houthi militias, adding this is a risk to the international navigation.

He said that the coalition has sought the assistant of the United Nations to supervise the flow of humanitarian aids through the port.

He said that such issue should be tackled as the main humanitarian aid come to Yemen through this port, while 10 percent of the international trade passes through the Red Sea.

The spokesperson said since the war started two years ago, tens of civilians have died in Saudi border cities by missile attacks by Houthis, while many are living very devastating lives because of lack of food, medicine and other necessities.
