Saudi Arabia Thursday proposed a five-day "humanitarian" ceasefire in Yemen following weeks of its blatant aggression, with top US diplomat John Kerry urging Ansarullah movement to accept the offer.
Field sources from Yemen told al-Manar that the tribal forces managed to seize eight posts in Najran and Jizan which are located in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen.
The bombing by a Saudi-led coalition has failed to halt an advance by the army and the popular committees in Yemen, and concern has been mounting over increasing civilian deaths.
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir announced the ceasefire proposal after talks in Riyadh with Kerry, who described it as a "major opportunity to ease the humanitarian crisis."
Jubeir said he had informed Kerry of "the kingdom's idea of a five-day ceasefire in Yemen to coordinate with international organizations to deliver aid to Yemen if Ansarullah movement and their allies commit to this".
A date for the ceasefire, "will soon be set," he told reporters at a joint press conference with the US secretary of state, who earlier held talks with King Salman and other top government officials.
"This ceasefire is conditioned on Ansarullah", Kerry said, appealing to the popular committees "to use all their influence not to miss this major opportunity to address the needs of the Yemeni people and find a peaceful way forward".
Yemen has been since March 26 under brutal aggression by Saudi-US coalition. Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi who is a close ally to Saudi Arabia.
On April 21, Saudi Arabia declared the end of the aggression, dubbed “Decisive Strom,” and the start of another campaign called “Restoring Hope.” The Saudi-led warplanes are still conducting airstrikes on several areas across Yemen.
Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

Local Editor
New military achievements were accomplished on Thursday by the tribal fighters on the border with the Saudi Arabia.
The achievements are in retaliation for the US-backed Saudi aggression against the Arab impoverished country, which has been since March 26 under brutal attack.
Field sources from Yemen told al-Manar that the tribal forces managed to seize eight posts in Najran and Jizan which are located in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen.
The tribal fighters captured four Saudi soldiers, the sources said, adding that the attacks on the Saudi posts were preceded by rockets shelling on Najran airport and other targets in the area.
Following the attacks, the Yemeni area on the border with Saudi witnessed hysteric and random shelling, the sources added.
Meanwhile, al-Masirah TV reported that tribal fighters downed Saudi Apatchi which was staging raids in Saada.
Elsewhere in the southern province of Shabwa, the Yemeni army, backed by the Popular Committees expelled al-Qaeda terrorists out of al-Masnaa area, another sources said.
In response, the Saudi army shelled the Yemeni bordering areas and launched several air raids on Saada and other provinces, killing at least 9 civilians.
