Protesters storm US embassy compound in Yemen
Protesters have forced their way into the compound of the US embassy in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, according to numerous reports.
Reuters, citing local witnesses, says:
Demonstrators smashed windows of the security offices outside the embassy before breaking through the main gate of the heavily fortified compound in eastern Sanaa. Security guards opened fire and there were reports of casualties on both sides but no details were immediately available.
AP says that before storming the embassy compound, the demonstrators removed the embassy's sign on the outer wall and set tyres alight. Once inside the compound, they brought down the US flag and burned it.
AP adds that the protesters were on the embassy's grounds but did not enter the building housing the offices.
The Yemen Times reported a few minutes ago that US embassy staff were being moved to a safer location.
Mohammed Albasha, Yemen's spokesman in Washington, has tweetedthat additional security forces have been sent and the situation is now under control.
