Seven people were killed in violence across Yemen today as President Ali Abdullah Saleh said he welcomed the UN resolution urging him to quit but failed to say if he will comply and resign.
Regime loyalists opened fire randomly on civilians in Yemen’s second-largest city Taez killing a child and wounding another, medics and witnesses said.
“A seven-year-old boy was killed by live rounds while a five-year-old was wounded,” a medical official told AFP.
Witnesses confirmed saying that armed supporters of Saleh were randomly shooting on the streets of Taez as his troops shelled neighbourhoods in the city’s north, allegedly targetting armed dissidents.
