UN chief calls for halt to Yemen fighting

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon calls on all armed factions in Yemen to stop fighting immediately, after Shiite militiamen seize the presidential palace in Sanaa.

Ban says he is “gravely concerned” as the Security Council meets behind closed doors to hear a report from his special envoy on the apparent bid to overthrow President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi.
