Blasts near Yemen Italian embassy | |
(about 8 hours later) | |
Yemeni security sources say two explosions heard in the capital Sanaa were caused by shells, fired by unidentified attackers. | |
The shells landed in a parking area, near a customs office and the Italian embassy, without causing casualties. | |
It was the third rocket or mortar attack in Sanaa in the past few weeks. | |
US officials believe the US embassy was the target of the first attack, but the mortars fired missed the compound andinjured children at a nearby school. | |
In a second incident, militants fired rockets or mortars at a residential compound housing Western workers. There were no casualties. | |
Last month, one guard was killed in a blast near the US embassy in the capital, although the cause was not known. |
