Yemen to start 72-hour ceasefire: UN envoy
UN special envoy for Yemen Ismail Ahmed has announced plans for a ceasefire starting on Wednesday midnight. This comes after US and UK demanded an immediate ceasefire in the country while condemning the recent killing of 140 people in a Saudi airstrike. The conflict between Iranian-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed Yemeni government has been continuing for over 18 months.
