Iranian-allied Houthi Militia

Warplanes attacked Houthi militia in control of Yemen's largest air base north of Aden on Tuesday, seeking to expand territorial gains made by Saudi-led coalition forces since they captured the southern port city last week.

The leader of Yemen's Iranian-allied Houthi militia accused Saudi Arabia on Sunday of plotting to seize the country, in a fiery speech suggesting he was in no mood to compromise despite more than three weeks of Saudi-led bombing.

Houthi fighters opposed to Yemen's president seized parts of the country's third largest city overnight amid growing concern about a conflict diplomats say risks drawing in neighbouring oil giant Saudi Arabia and its main regional rival Iran.

Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi accused the Iranian-allied Houthi militia on Saturday of staging a coup against him and appealed to the United Nations for "urgent intervention", even as the United States evacuated its remaining forces.
