Five people were killed in clashes between rival forces in the Yemeni capital Sanaa as nationwide protests against the government continued Wednesday.
Of the dead in Sanaa, two were loyal to Gen. Ali Muhsen Al-Ahmar, who has defected to the opposition, a government security official said. The other three were regime soldiers.
Government forces were sending in armored vehicles as reinforcements to the demonstrations in Sanaa, the official said.
Thousands of Yemenis took to the streets in Aden, Taiz, Hodeida and Dhamar.
In addition to the dead in Sanaa, two people were killed in Aden, according to medical staff at the city's Naqeeb Hospital.
Meanwhile, Yemen's attorney general threatened to resign unless the government went after the killers of anti-government protesters last month.
