A Saudi-led military coalition  fighting Iran-backed rebels in Yemen has announced a 48-hour ceasefire to begin at noon on Saturday. There was no immediate response from the Houthi rebels on whether or not they will accept the truce, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

As it was reported, the ceasefire is extendable as long as Houthi militias and forces loyal to them abide by the truce, including allowing the entry of humanitarian aid to the besieged areas.
