According to media outlets affiliated with the Houthis, the Iranian-backed delegation left the Saudi capital city Riyadh earlier today.

Al-Mayadeen Channel said that the Houthi delegation left Saudi Arabia heading to Sanaa, accompanied by the delegation of the Sultanate of Oman, to consult with the Houthi leadership.

Reuters quoted sources saying that the talks in Riyadh had made progress on “timeline for foreign troops exiting Yemen and a mechanism for paying public wages.”

The agency spoke of "another expected meeting between the Saudis and the Houthi negotiating delegation to hold further talks."
