The United Nations Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced that the truce in Yemen came into effect on Saturday evening, according to Agence France-Presse.

Both Saudi Arabia and Iran welcomed the truce, which came as a result of UN mediation, in Yemen. The truce will last for two months, subject to extension

A statement issued by the office of the UN envoy said, “The truce, which will last for two months, began at seven in the evening today. Starting from tonight, all offensive military operations by land, air and sea will stop.”

The UN envoy stressed that “the success of this initiative depends on the warring parties’ continued commitment to implementing the armistice agreement, including the accompanying humanitarian measures.”
