Negotiators say Yemen's warring sides agreed to exchange bodies of some of those killed in the country's 4-year-old Saudi-led war.
Representatives of Yemen's popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and the resigned regime of former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi said they agreed Friday that each side will hand over 1,000 bodies in three stages. The first stage will see the release of bodies from morgues.
The Saudi-led war has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
The agreement came after four days of talks in Jordan, as part of efforts to implement agreements reached in principle in December.
The negotiators say they also made progress on an exchange of prisoners and would now consult with their leaders.
