Bahrain Mirror: The Saudi army and the Yemeni "Ansarullah" movement have exchanged 64 fighters' bodies in the third such recent deal, the latest sign of progress in talks to end their eight-year conflict.

The rare exchange took place on Wednesday near the Saudi border town of Nahran, according to the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV. The TV reported that bodies of 58 rebels Yemenis handed over by Riyadh, while the Yemenis handed over the bodies of six Saudi soldiers.

Saudi Arabia announced last week that it would allow Yemen Airways to carry passengers into Saudi Arabia for Islam's annual Haj pilgrimage from the Yemeni capital Sanaa for the first time since war broke out in 2015.
