Yemen’s Houthis announce three-day ceasefire after Saudi attacks

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Yemen’s Houthis announce three-day ceasefire after Saudi attacks” – below is their description.

Yemen’s Houthi group has announced a three-day truce and dangled the prospect of a “permanent” ceasefire if the Saudi-led coalition ends its operations against the impoverished country.

The statement came a day after a wave of drone and missile attacks hit targets across Saudi Arabia, including an oil plant near the Formula One race in Jeddah, triggering an inferno.

On Saturday, at least seven people were reported to have been killed in air raids conducted by the Saudi-led coalition on Sanaa and Hodeidah.

Al Jazeera’s Alex Gatopoulos reports.
