United Nations, United States--UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday called on all armed factions in Yemen to stop fighting immediately, after Shiite militiamen seized the presidential palace in Sanaa.

Ban said he was "gravely concerned" as the Security Council met behind closed doors to hear a report from his special envoy on the apparent bid to overthrow President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi.
