Yemen troops in deadly clashes in Sanaa

At least one person has been killed in clashes between presidential guards and soldiers in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, officials and medics have said.

Hundreds of members of the now-dissolved Republican Guard gathered on a square near the presidential palace to complain about their treatment.

Shots were fired when the soldiers reportedly marched towards the palace.

The ex-Republican Guard troops are believed to be loyal to Yemen's ousted former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
