| Yemen: 'One dead' as police fire on Houthi protesters | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Police in Yemen have shot at anti-government Shia protesters in the capital, Sanaa, killing at least one person, witnesses say. | |
| In recent days, thousands of Houthi demonstrators have intensified weeks of protests on the outskirts of the city. | |
| They have held sit-ins at ministries and on the main airport road in their push to overthrow the government. | |
| The head of special forces was sacked on Monday after a failed attempt to disperse the protest. | |
| The Houthis have staged periodic uprisings since 2004 in an effort to win greater autonomy for their northern heartland of Saada province. | |
| Airstrikes by government forces are continuing against Houthi positions in the north. | |
| Houthi leaders told the Reuters news agency that two of their members were killed and dozens were wounded in the Sanaa protest. | |
| But correspondents say these figures could not immediately be confirmed. |
