Second day of prisoner swaps involving nearly 900 detainees comes amid peace talks to end eight-year war
Scores of prisoners of war, including Saudis, were freed on Saturday as part of a cross-border exchange between a Saudi-led military coalition and Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels, the International Committee of the Red Cross has said.
The flights connecting Saudi Arabia and Huthi-held territory in Yemen were part of a large-scale, multiday exchange involving nearly 900 detainees and come amid peace talks that have raised hopes of an end to Yemen’s eight-year war between Iran-backed rebels and a Saudi-led coalition.
