Sanaa: At least 43 protesters were killed in clashes between the opposition tribesmen and Yemeni security forces, while 30 people were killed by airstrikes in Zinjibra city.
Fierce fighting between the tribesmen loyal to Sheikh Sadiq al-Ahmar, who heads the powerful Hashid federation, and security forces loyal to embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh broke out in the city, shattering a ceasefire announced on Friday.
Yemeni government has claimed that all victims dead had links with al Qaeda.
In the north of the city, street fighting took place throughout the night in Al-Hasaba area, where Ahmar s house is located, residents say.
