At least a protester was killed and dozens injured when the security forces fired at the protesters who marched on the Council of Ministers in Yemen's capital Sana'a on Wednesday, coinciding with resuming crackdown on the protesters in Taiz province where two were shot dead this morning.
There were at least nine in critical condition and sources at the field hospital outside Sana'a University said some are dying.
The shooters wore the uniform of the forces of the first armored division to deceive the people, a protester said, adding: " they fired heavily at us though we held white flowers and walked peacefully."
Tens of thousands decided to march on the Cabinet headquarters as recently many of the hundreds of thousands at the squares of change and freedom have called for marches on the presidential palaces.
The demonstrators chanted: the people want to march on the presidential palaces.
The casualties came as the authorities have stepped the crackdown on the antigovernment protests in many cities, some of which have been experiencing month-long street sit-ins.
