The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced on Wednesday that six Saudi prisoners, who were held in Yemen, have arrived in the Kingdom.

They arrived at the King Salman air base after their release from the neighboring war-torn country.

The coalition hailed the efforts of the International Committee of the Red Cross for ensuring the prisoners were safely released as part of the Stockholm agreement.

It said the captives had been held by the Iran-backed Houthi militias.
