Reuters reported that two women aged 19 and 20 held as hostages by the Iran-linked Houthi rebels in Yemen were freed in a raid by U.S. and Saudi special forces.
A source with details of the operation said that the two were transferred from the capital city of Sana'a to the port of Aden and from there to Saudi Arabia, where they underwent tests and received medical treatment before being flown back to the U.S.
