Saudi-Led Coalition's Airstrike Kills Several Houthi Leaders in Yemen
SANAA (Sputnik) — The Saudi-led coalition will allow an UN plane to bring negotiators representing the Houthi movement, officially called Ansar Allah, from Oman to Yemen on September 16, after blocking their arrival for more than a month, a Houthi source told Sputnik Thursday.

A delegation of Houthi rebels and their allies loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has been stuck in Oman since August where it went after failed peace talks with the Yemeni government hosted by Kuwait.

"The forces of the Arab coalition will allow a private UN plane to bring the delegation of Ansar Allah and [president Saleh’s] General People’s Congress party from Oman's capital to Sanaa after more than 40 days after the initial ban," the source said.

He added that permission was granted only to members of the delegation and excluded journalists.
