DHAKA: A deadly suicide bomb has ripped through the heart of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, causing multiple casualties.

Witnesses say, reports the BBC.

At least 10 people were reported to have died in Tahrir Square, in the centre of the city, which appeared to target a Shia checkpoint and rally.

The bombing comes amid continuing political instability in Yemen.

Al-Qaeda’s local offshoot has vowed to fight Yemens’s Shia Houthis, who recently took control of Sanaa.
