Prisoner exchange agreement between Houthis and government follows UN-sponsored talks with the Red Cross in Geneva. Houthis release 181 prisoners, including 15 Saudis and 3 Sudanese, in exchange for 706 prisoners from the group held by other parties.

The exchange process was postponed for 3 days at the request of the International Committee of theRed Cross, due to procedures and arrangements. A new round of prisoner negotiations is scheduled for a month Ramadan to release the rest of the prisoners and abductees.
