The United Nations-brokered truce between Yemen’s internationally-recognized government backed by the Saudis and the Iran-backed Shiite Houthi rebel militia has expired without reaching a new agreement, UN special envoy to Yemen Hans Grundberg said in a statement.
“The UN Envoy regrets that an agreement has not been reached today, as an extended and expanded truce would provide additional critical benefits to the population,” the statement said.
