Houthis also released bodies of eight Yemeni government soldiers in exchange for the corpse of one Houthi fighter.

Both the Yemeni government and the Houthi rebels have not yet issued a statement confirming the swap.

The two parties had previously carried out several prisoner swaps with local and international efforts.

Last October, the government and the Houthis exchanged 1,056 prisoners from both sides in the largest swap deal since the war began seven years ago.
