Security forces in Yemen have opened fire on protesters in the capital, Sanaa, killing at least 26 people and injuring hundreds, doctors said.
Tens of thousands of protesters calling for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down were marching on the presidential palace.
The clashes are the deadliest in Yemen for several months.
The defence ministry said the trouble began when protesters threw petrol bombs at the security forces.
In a statement posted on its website, the ministry said an Islamist group had opened fire on the protesters.
