The security forces raided the martyr camp in Yemen's business capital Aden on Saturday and sources confirmed that four people were killed and others injured, as the protests calling for the ouster of the regime continued in many cities. Some homes suffered damages due attacks by the military vehicles.
 

Hundreds of people were staging a sit-in in solidarity with the popular uprising in the squares of change and freedom in other cities and in solidarity with the families of the protesters killed while calling for the ouster of President Saleh.

The security forces surrounded the camp from all directions and set fire to it, and tanks and armoured vehicles were seen breaking in, local sources said.

The forces pursued the protesters in alleys, while ambulances rushed to the site, the sources said.

Meanwhile, other sources said that unknown armed groups exchanged gunfire with the forces but the protesters affirmed they had nothing to do with the exchange of gunfire.

Also, security sources said that an officer and two soldiers were killed in the clashes, as they justified the action as carried out after armed people attacked guards at the Mansoura police station.

"The authorities were also afraid that the area will be turned into a square for the separatists who are currently taking advantage of insecurity in Aden amid the continuous unrest," the security sources said.
