BBC: Saudis declare Yemen ceasefire, as air strike 'kills 120'
The Saudi-led coalition is to suspend bombardment of rebels in Yemen for five days, so aid can reach civilians.
The truce will come into force from midnight on Sunday, according to the official Saudi news agency.
However, the coalition said it reserved the right to respond to "military activity or movement" by Houthi rebels during the ceasefire.
The announcement followed air strikes in Taiz province, which reportedly killed 120 people, including civilians.
