He blamed the countries of aggression for the direct targeting of the convoy.

Al-Houthi explained that the countries of aggression seek to undermine the agreement of Sweden and obstruct peace by targeting the UN team.

“It is said that part of the plan to repeat the battle of Hodeidah and obstruct peace is by targeting the UN team,” he said in a tweet.

“We remind Lollesgaard to oblige the aggressive coalition to give access to the Red Sea Mills in order to distribute aid.”
