Houthi Rebels Advance on Aden; Saudi Arabia Moves Weaponry Near Border 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Houthi rebels in Yemen are reportedly advancing on the southern city of
Aden, the refuge of deposed President President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Hadi fled to Aden last month after the Houthis moved against his
government in the capital Sana'a. Hadi has asked for U.N. Security
Council intervention to defeat the Houthis. There are reports Saudi
Arabia, which backs Hadi, is moving heavy weaponry to areas near its
border with Yemen.
