A Saudi-led coalition mired in a yearslong war in Yemen on Monday urged Emirati-backed southern separatists to honor terms of a Riyadh peace deal and return control of the port city of Aden to the country's internationally recognized government.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen announced Wednesday that its forces would begin a cease-fire starting Thursday, a step that could pave the way for the first direct peace talks between the two sides that have been at war for more than five years.

Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen announced on Sunday the foiling of a "terrorist attack" in the Red Sea.

Saudi-led coalition announced Friday it intercepted several ballistic missiles launched by Houthi militia towards Saudi cities, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
