Taiz: Police opened fire on a protest demonstration in Taiz, killing one and injuring scores, residents say. Putting the number of hurt at as many as 1,200, doctors said police had used live rounds, tear gas and batons.
And overnight, more than 400 people were hurt after police opened fire on a protest in the Red Sea town of Hudaida, doctors told media.
Protesters have been urging President Ali Abdullah Saleh to resign.
Saleh has said he is ready to discuss a “peaceful transition of power”.
In office for more than three decades, he announced earlier this year that he would not seek another term in office in 2013.
Yemen, the Arab world’s most impoverished nation, is one of about a dozen countries in the Middle East to have seen anti-government unrest this year.
