DUBAI: Yemen's Houthi rebels unilaterally released 153 war detainees Saturday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.

The Houthis had signalled Friday night they planned a release of prisoners, part of their efforts to ease tensions after the ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.

However, the release follows the Houthis detaining another seven Yemeni workers from the United Nations, sparking anger from the world body.

The Red Cross said it “welcomes this unilateral release as another positive step towards reviving negotiations” over ending the country's long-running war.
