Sana’a - At least 46 people were killed when four suicide bombers blew themselves up in two mosques in the Yemeni capital Sanaa during Friday prayers, security and medical sources told Reuters.

The sources said at least 200 people were injured in the blasts.

Both mosques are known to be used mainly by supporters of the Shi'a Muslim Houthi group which has seized control of the government.
