Saudi Arabia Announces Yemen Ceasefire End Without Extension

2016-11-21 - 11:07 p

Bahrain Mirror: A 48-hour ceasefire ended Monday in Yemen after failing to stem violence across the country, with both sides blaming each other for deadly "violations" of the US-backed truce, AFP reported. The Saudi-led coalition said the truce, which came into effect Saturday, ended at midday Monday, and accused Iran-backed Houthis of repeatedly breaking it. 

"There is no respect (for the truce), only violations," coalition spokesman Major General Ahmed Assiri told AFP. He also added, "At the military level, for the moment, we have no orders to extend the ceasefire. It's over."
