The United Nations Security Council will hold meeting in New York on Sunday to discuss the situation in Yemen, after Yemeni President reportedly called in a letter to the council for an "urgent intervention".
The Council announced its decision on Saturday, one day after it condemned the Friday suicide bomber attacks on two mosques in Yemen's capital Sanaa, which took the lives of at least 150 people, as well as the attacks in the northern city of Saada, which resulted in the death of over 30 people on the same day.
Earlier, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi called in a letter to the Security Council, seen by Reuters, for an "urgent intervention in all available means to stop this aggression that is aimed at undermining the legitimate authority, the fragmentation of Yemen and its peace and stability."
In February Hadi escaped house arrest, fled to the southern port city of Aden and withdrew his resignation.
On Thursday, Houthis launched airstrikes on the presidential palace in Aden. The UN Security Council condemned the attacks in its Friday statement, stressing that Hadi is the sole legitimate authority in Yemen and urging all sides in the Yemeni conflict to refrain from the use of military force.
