Clashes break out in south Yemen, 4 wounded

None

Four people were wounded in clashes in southern Yemen on Wednesday as police fired shots and protesters hurled rocks at security forces, witnesses said. Residents told Reuters the four were wounded when police fired shots in the port town of Aden to break up protests.

 

Security forces, some in armored vehicles and others with water cannon, were deployed throughout the city. The clashes appeared to have started as police tried to clear makeshift roadblocks, a Reuters reporter in Aden said. The protesters are demanding an end to President Ali Abdullah Saleh's 32-year rule. (Reuters)
