Sana’a - A car bomb detonated near a hospital in the Yemeni capital Sana’a on Tuesday, killing and wounding people, according to the state news agency which is controlled by the country's dominant Houthi group.

“A security source in the capital told the state news agency Saba that a car bomb exploded this evening, leading to the martydom and injury of numerous citizens,” the agency said.

Islamic state in Yemen has claimed responsibility for a string of recent deadly attacks against the Shi'ite Muslim group which runs the capital, calling them apostates deserving death.
