Yemen rebels turn down ceasefire
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe leader of Yemen’s Houthi rebels says they will not respect a ceasefire.
On Saturday a Saudi-led coalition fighting the insurgents declared a five-day truce Saturday so aid can reach a country the UN says is on the brink of a humanitarian disaster.
Announcing the unilateral truce to begin from midnight Sunday, a statement on the official Saudi Press Agency said the coalition also reserved the right to respond to “military activity or movement” by the rebels during the ceasefire.
Coalition airstrikes earlier Saturday hit a residential area in a quiet Red Sea town in Yemen, killing at least 120 people in the deadliest strike against civilians since the March offensive began.
