Yemen rebels announce temporary Red Sea ceasefire

Yemen's Huthi rebels announced a two-week pause in Red Sea operations Wednesday, after attacks against Saudi tankers last week prompted Riyadh to suspend oil shipments through a key waterway. The Huthis are fighting a Saudi-led military coalition that backs Yemen's government. A spokesman for the coalition did not immediately respond to a written request for comment on the Huthis' unilateral truce.
