SANAA, Nov. 2 (YPA) – Saudi Arabia has refused to receive bodies of Sudanese soldiers who were killed while fighting for the Saudi-led aggression coalition in Yemen, the head of the Yemeni National Committee for Prisoners’ Affairs said on Saturday.

“The Saudi side refused handing over bodies of the Yemeni army’s soldiers in exchange for the bodies of the Sudanese soldiers through the United Nations, insisting that it would swap only for Saudi soldiers,” Abdul Qader al-Murtada said in a statement.
