Forces from the first armored division thwarted earlier today two attempts to target the house of acting President Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi, almost 20 hours after he started his new powers in the absence of President Saleh being treated in Saudi Arabia.
The forces intercepted cars of armed people who wanted to attack Hadi's compound in Street 60th injuring several of them.
Clashes erupted with three people including a soldier and some gunmen were also arrested. On Monday, regime supporters closed Zubairy St near Asser area forcing passers-by and cars to redirect. They also fired at people but no casualties were reported.
The first armored division led by Ali Muhsen Al-Ahmer, once a close ally of President Saleh, announced support to the youth-led uprising in the squares of change and freedom months ago.
