Thousands of protesters backed by military defectors seized a base of the elite Republican Guards, weakening the control of Yemen’s embattled president over this poor, fractured Arab nation.
His forces fired on unarmed demonstrators elsewhere in the capital, killing scores, wounding hundreds and sparking international condemnation.
The protesters, joined by soldiers from the renegade 1st Armored Division, stormed the base without firing a single shot, according to witnesses and security officials. Some carried sticks and rocks.
