The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi group in Yemen said late on Tuesday it will halt military operations from Wednesday, following a United Nations' call for a truce during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The U.N. has been working with the Saudi-led military alliance and the Iran-aligned Houthi movement, which have been at war since 2015, to secure a peace deal and alleviate a dire humanitarian crisis in the impoverished country.
