Riyadh has announced a five day lull in its military campaign in Yemen, according to Saudi Press Agency.
A Saturday statement on the SPA said that the “humanitarian” ceasefire will take effect from Sunday evening at 11:59 pm Yemen’s local time (2100 GMT) and will last for five days.
It said the truce is meant to allow humanitarian and medical aid aid to be delivered to the Yemeni people.
The statement warned, however, that Riyadh will respond to any breach in the truce.
Yemen’s ruling Ansarullah movement has not yet made any comment on the announcement.
