RIYADH (Reuters) -Yemen's warring parties agreed to extend a U.N.-brokered truce for another two months under the same terms as the original deal that was due to expire on Thursday, the U.N. envoy to Yemen said.

Delegations from the Saudi-backed government and the Iran-aligned Houthi movement are expected to return to the Jordanian capital Amman to continue talks, a Yemeni official said.
