The warring sides in Yemen have reached an agreement to swap more than 1,000 prisoners.

The United Nations says the move was part of steps to revive the stalled peace negotiations. The agreement was reached between Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and Saudi-led militants loyal to Yemen’s Saudi-allied former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

UN Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths welcomed the agreement, describing it as a very important milestone.
