Yemen's Houthis say they will release Saudi and other detainees in swap - tweet

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group on Monday said it would release 15 Saudi, three Sudanese and a number of other detainees in exchange for 700 prisoners from the other side of the Yemen conflict, after U.N.-backed exchange talks in Switzerland.

"The ongoing negotiations in Geneva ... are heading towards reaching a humanitarian deal under which 700 prisoners, including women and civilians, will be freed in exchange for the release of 15 Saudi prisoners of war, 3 Sudanese and others," the group's chief negotiator Mohammed Abdulsalam said on Twitter.
