The warring sides in the long-running conflict in Yemen have committed to steps towards a ceasefire that would end the fighting, the U.N. special envoy for Yemen said on Saturday.
The envoy, Hans Grundberg, "welcomes the parties' commitment to a set of measures to implement a nation-wide ceasefire, improve living conditions in Yemen, and engage in preparations for the resumption of an inclusive political process under UN auspices," he said in a statement.
