Blast targets Houthi base in Yemen capital
A large blast damaged a building belonging to Yemen's Shi'ite Muslim Houthi militia in a western district of the capital Sanaa early on Monday, but there were no fatalities, a police source and witnesses said.         

The Houthis, who control large swathes of Yemen and are regarded as enemies by Sunni militants including those in al Qaeda's Yemeni wing, sealed off the area soon afterwards to prevent access to it, said local residents.         

The explosion left a hole in the wall of the building, which was used as a base by the Houthis, witnesses told Reuters.           

Photographs posted on Yemeni social media accounts, which could not be immediately verified, showed the front of a building in which the windows had been blown out and bricks were missing from around the door.         

Turmoil in Yemen accelerated in September after the Houthis seized control of Sanaa and expanded into central and western parts of the country, leading to direct fighting between them and al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in some areas.         

A series of bomb attacks by AQAP in recent weeks have struck Houthi targets, including a guesthouse in which four people were killed on Sunday and a street celebration in which 26 were killed on Wednesday.
