UN envoy to Yemen and Ansarullah official have visited Saudi Arabia in a bid to discuss truce in the crisis-hit country.

Well-informed Yemeni source reported that UN envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Chiekh Ahmed and representative of Ansarullah revolutionary movement, Mohammad Abdul Salam have visited Saudi Arabia in a bid to discuss truce in the crisis-hit country.

The source said that Ould Chiekh and Abdul Salam have visited Saudi to coordinate the work of truce committee which was agreed upon during Kuwait peace talks.

The committee was tasked with overseeing the truce in Yemen. It was decided that the work of the committee would be launched from the Saudi area of Dhahran al-Janub in the border with Yemen.

Ansarullah, along with its national allies, has been engaged in UN-sponsored peace talks with Saudi-backed exiled government in Kuwait. The talks are aimed at finding a peaceful solution to the deadly crisis in Yemen.

Yemen has been since March 26, 2015 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition.

Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to fugitive ex-president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi who is a close ally to Saudi Arabia.
