In Yemen, 12 people were reportedly killed and nearly 200 wounded when Yemeni forces opened fire on an anti-government demonstration in the capital city of Sana’a. Snipers were seen on rooftops aiming at a crowd of roughly 100,000 protesters as they filled a city square and surrounded the state television building.

Protester: “We were marching peacefully, and they fired at us with bullets. We were peaceful. Five or six of our friends fell beside me, and we tried to pull them while they fired and threw tear gas at us.”
