Yemen’s warring parties have reached an agreement on cease-fire in the port city of Hudaydah, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres confirmed on Thursday.
Guterres said that the agreement covered the deployment of the neutral forces, as well as the large-scale cease-fire in the region.
Earlier, Houthi rebels announced a cease-fire deal with the Yemeni government and withdrawal from Hudaydah during UN-brokered peace talks in Sweden.
The UN-brokered talks had begun in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, on Dec. 6 in an effort to end the 4-year military conflict in Yemen.
