以沙特阿拉伯爲首的打擊也門境內什葉派叛亂分子的聯盟星期一說，該聯盟釋放了109名也門人，以交換被拘留的9名沙特人。

A coalition statement did not give details on where or how the Saudis were detained, but said the Yemenis had been held near the Saudi border.

該聯盟的聲明沒有說明9名沙特人的拘留地點和具體情況，但表示獲釋的也門人一直被拘留在沙特邊界附近。

Shi'ite Houthi rebels seized the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, in September 2014, and in March of last year pushed south to the port city of Aden in an offensive that sent President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi fleeing to Saudi Arabia.

什葉派胡塞反政府武裝於2014年9月佔據了也門首都薩那，並於去年3月發動攻勢，向南推進到港口城市亞丁，也門總統哈迪被迫逃往沙特。

The Saudis responded by organizing the coalition to conduct airstrikes against the Houthis, and later the conflict included pro-Hadi ground troops battling the rebels and some violence along the Saudi-Yemen border.

沙特爲此組織了一個聯盟，對胡塞武裝發動空襲，後來支持哈迪的部隊參與了對反政府武裝的地面戰鬥，在沙特和也門的邊界地帶引發暴力衝突。

The conflict has left more than 6,000 people dead in the poorest Arab nation.

也門是最貧窮的阿拉伯國家，這場衝突已經造成6000多人死亡。
