Five explosions rock Yemeni capital – Middle East – Al Jazeera English.
Five bombs have exploded in Sanaa’s old quarter, where many supporters of the Shia Muslim Houthi group live, killing at least one person and wounding another, according to a Yemeni security official.
No one claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attacks, but the Houthis have been fighting the Sunni Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) group and allied tribesmen since its fighters captured Sanaa in September and forced the resignation of the government.
Witnesses said the blasts occurred early in the morning at a time when only a few people were on the streets.
One of the bombs exploded when a member of the Houthi armed group tried to dismantle it, residents said.
Several houses and some cars were damaged by the explosions.
