Yemen’s Pro-Saudi Leader Abandons Residence as Rebels Gain

Yemeni President Abdurabuh Mansur Hadi has left his residence in the southern port city of Aden after Shiite rebels and their allies advanced on his stronghold.

Mohammed Hadi, an aide who confirmed Hadi’s departure, said the president was still in Aden but declined to give further details. The Associated Press, citing unidentified officials, said he left the city by boat. Fighters loyal to the Houthi group and former President Ali Abdullah Saleh have captured Aden’s airport, Al-Masdar’s news website reported.
