About 30 people were killed and more than 50 injured in an explosion
outside a police college in Yemen's capital Sanaa.
A car bomb was said to have exploded near the college, presumably targeting a group of students
standing by the building. The blast which was heard across
the city resulted in a fire.
Photographs of the aftermath of the blast show the burning wreckage of the vehicle and bloodied bodies lying on the pavement.
"What happened is we were all gathering and ... (the bomber) exploded right next to all of the police college classmates," eyewitness Jamil al-Khaleedi said, "It went off among all of them, and they flew through the air."
Witnesses said they could see ambulances taking the wounded away from the scene of the blast.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
Yemen has seen an increase in instability since the 2011 popular uprising that ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has been increasingly active, staging a growing number of terror attacks.
