According to Press TV, the UN says the meeting will be held behind closed doors on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. local time in New York.
Diplomats say the meeting will take place following a letter by fugitive President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi to the council.
Representatives from Yemen and Qatar are scheduled to address the 15-member council.
On Friday, Hadi gave a televised speech challenging the Ansarullah movement. He called the movement’s rule in the capital and elsewhere a “coup against constitutional legitimacy.”
Following the speech, Ansarullah called for a “general mobilization” against forces loyal to the embattled president.
The Yemeni fighters, in a statement from the movement’s Supreme Revolutionary Committee issued on Saturday, described the motive behind the move as “deteriorating security conditions in the country” and the “war imposed on the Yemeni people on all fronts.”
