RIYADH, Saudi Arabia—Yemen’s Houthi group said on March 26 that it would suspend missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia for three days, in a peace initiative it said could be a lasting commitment if the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen stopped air strikes and lifted port restrictions.
The group also announced a three-day halt of ground offensive operations in Yemen, including in the gas-producing region of Marib, Mahdi al-Mashat, the head of the Houthis’ political office, said in a speech broadcast on television.
