HODEIDAH (Debriefer)--The Ansar Allah group, known as the Houthis, on Saturday announced the arrival of 24 Yemeni fishermen in Hodeidah province from Eritrea where they had been held for three months.
They arrived at the area of Al-Khouba, said director of the local fish landing center, Mohammed Hashim, pointing out that the fishermen had been detained in Yemen's territorial waters.
The largest part of the western province of Hodeidah, including Hodeidah seaport, has been under Houthi control since 2014.
A month ago, the Eritrean authorities released 60 Yemeni fishermen without their boats.
There were still 170 Yemeni fishermen held in Eritrea with 35 boats, sources said at the time.
Earlier last year, Eritreans detained tens of Yemeni fishermen off Yemen's Hunaish Island in the Red Sea.
