Parts of Yemen's third largest city Taiz have been seized by Shia rebels, reports quoting security officials say.
The city's airport was among the areas seized by Houthi rebels, reports said.
There has been mounting violence by rival armed groups in Yemen, including Houthi rebels, al-Qaeda and Islamic State militants.
On Saturday, the US said it was withdrawing its troops from the country due to the worsening security situation.
Houthi fighters dressed in military uniform could be seen arriving at the airport, while dozens of tanks and military vehicles could be seen heading south towards Taiz, eyewitnesses told reporters.
The Houthi fighters were said to be supported by fighters loyal to former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The strategic city of Taiz is located between the capital, Sanaa, and the southern city of Aden.
The UN Security Council is holding an emergency meeting on Yemen's security situation on Sunday.
