Russia calls for pause in Yemen air strikes to evacuate foreigners

None

Russia called Saturday for the United Nations Security Council to push for pauses in Saudi-led air strikes on Yemen to allow the evacuation of foreign civilians and diplomats.

 

Russia circulated a draft resolution to the 15-member council during closed-door consultations, which was seen by Reuters, that also "demands rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access".
