Houthi rebels backed by allied army units have seized Yemen's largest air base from forces loyal to President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, reports say.
The rebels' TV channel and locals said they had taken control of al-Anad air base, near Aden, early on Wednesday.
US and European military advisers were evacuated from the facility last week.
The Houthis and their allies are advancing southwards towards Aden, the port city where Mr Hadi has been based since fleeing Sanaa last month.
The rebels took full control of the capital in January, placing the president under house arrest and declaring that a five-member "presidential council" would rule the country.
On Tuesday, Mr Hadi asked the UN Security Council to authorise military intervention by "willing countries" to "protect Yemen and to deter the Houthi aggression expected to occur at any hour from now" in Aden.
He asked members of the six-nation Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) and the Arab League for military help after warplanes, allegedly flown by pro-Houthi pilots, attacked the presidential palace in Aden last week.
