STORYLINE
Fierce gun battles were raging in the Yemeni port city of Aden as Shiite Houthi rebels and for military units loyal to the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh battled the forces of the country's embattled president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.
Crowds of civilians are fleeing from the restive city.
Although Hadi is the internationally recognised leader, he was forced to flee his southern stronghold of Aden last month as the Houthis advanced toward the port. He is in the Saudi capital of Riyadh.
A coalition of countries led by Saudi Arabia began conducting airstrikes against rebel positions on 26 March.
Western governments and the Sunni Arab countries in the coalition say the Houthis get their arms from Shiite powerhouse Iran.
Tehran and the rebels deny that, although the Islamic Republic has provided political and humanitarian support to the Shiite group.
