There has been no progress in political or diplomatic talks between Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, and Saudi Arabia, a member of the group's political bureau has said.


Huzam al-Asad told Russia's TASS news agency that there was “nothing new” regarding the political and diplomatic process.


He was responding to reports that Oman was mediating discussions on a possible two-week ceasefire between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.


Al-Asad said Saudi authorities continued to avoid commitments made under a previously agreed roadmap mediated by Oman and under the auspices of the UN.


Saudi Arabia has asked Oman to approach Ansar Allah with a proposal for a two-week ceasefire, during which the sides could discuss ways to address the humanitarian situation in Yemen.
