Was that after finding out that the U.S. was deploying defensive forces there?
Via Fox News:
Yemen’s Houthi rebels said Friday they are halting all drone and ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, six days after claiming responsibility for a strike that crippled a key oil facility in the kingdom.
The announcement could be the first step toward a wider ceasefire in Yemen, but its effect remained unclear, and there was no immediate response from the Saudi-led coalition.
The halt was proclaimed by Mahdi al Mashat, the head of the Houthis’ supreme political council, which runs rebel-held areas in Yemen. He said the group was waiting for a “positive response” from Saudi Arabia. It was not clear what such a response would entail.
