26 protesters killed in Yemen
SANAA: Yemeni security forces opened fire on anti-regime demonstrators in Sanaa on Sunday, killing at least 26 and wounding hundreds more after lobbing mortar rounds at the home of a powerful dissident tribal chief.
Medics reported 26 dead and 500 wounded by live rounds, batons or after inhaling tear gas.
"Twenty six people were killed tonight," Tarek Nooman, a doctor in a field hospital in Sanaa's Change Square, epicentre of the anti-regime protests, told this news agency.
Mohammed al-Abani, a doctor running another field hospital, said 500 people were hurt.
Witnesses said security forces and armed civilians opened fire on tens of thousands of protesters who left Change Square, where they have camped since February demanding regime change, and marched towards the city centre. Water cannons and tear gas were also used, they added.
A medical official said that the injuries of 25 of those wounded by live rounds and shrapnel were critical. (AFP)
