Fighters from the Shiite Houthi militia took over a coastal defense camp in Al-Hudaydah governorate in western Yemen.
Seven soldiers from the camp were killed during the fighting.
Houthi militiamen took control of Sanaa in September, eventually leading President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee to the southern port city of Aden this week where he is seeking to set up a rival power center with loyalist army units and tribes.
