A ceasefire started in Yemen on Tuesday alongside UN-brokered talks between the government, the Houthi group and other factions in Switzerland.
It began at midday and is taking hold. Some breaches have been reported in the provinces of Taiz and Marib but not confirmed by any party.
The Saudi-led coalition suspended airstrikes in the country as well upon request from president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.
The coalition has been bombing the Houthi forces and weapons since March.
Today, it announced that it has taken over the Zoqar island on the Red Sea, according to Gulf media.
Lately, it retook the Larger Hunaish island on the sea as it continued to provide direct support to the Yemeni forces battling the Houthis for the province of Taiz.
The ceasefire reflects the commitment of the parties to the eight-month conflict to the peace talks.
The talks will seek to establish a durable ceasefire, a resumption of the political process and a plan to implement the UN resolutions especially the resolution 2216.
In the meantime, aid is expected to start to flow and be delivered to the Yemeni people affected by the conflict during the ceasefire.
The UN says around 82% of the total population, around 21 million, need urgent humanitarian aid.
The blockade on all sea, land and aid ports which was imposed as part of the Saudi-led bombing campaign has deprived Yemen of all supplies.
Around14 million people lack access to healthcare, 19 million lack access to safe water, 14 million are food insecure and 320.000 acutely malnourished children, the UN said lately.
In addition, there are more than 2.3 million displaced and are facing harsh conditions in the winter.
