At least 14 Houthi followers and passersby were killed in a suicide bombing in Yemen's Jawf province on Friday, security sources said.
An explosives-laden car were rammed into a school targeting a gathering of Houthi people in the northeastern province killing ten Houthi followers including a child and four passersby, the sources said.
Several others were injured in the bombing coinciding with reports the Houthi Group thwarted another attempt to carry out a suicide bombing in Saada province in the far north.
Media quoted a spokesman at the office of the group's leader as saying a suicide bomber with an explosive belt tried to target a weekly gathering by the group on the highway but he became confused exploding himself away from the gathering.
The group, which the Yemeni army fought six times and allegedly receives Iranian support, did not accuse anyone.
Two years ago, Al-Qaida bombed a convoy in Jawf killing and injuring tens of Houthis.
The Shiite group controls many parts in Saada, Jawf and nearby provinces.
Observers said the Houthi and Al-Qaida are the most armed, extremist groups in the region and they pose serious threats to Yemen's stability.
Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the deadliest ever bombing in the capital Sanaa this week, which killed more than one hundred security forces and injured hundreds others.
Meantime, the Yemeni army has been advancing on Al-Qaida militants in the southern province of Abyan, killing and injuring hundreds of them including senior leaders. More recently, the army has stepped up the offensive to retake key towns including the capital Zinjibar, which were seized last year.
Separately, a soldier and two inmates were killed when a riot broke out inside the central prison in Taiz province on Friday, the interior ministry said.
Three prisoners were injured and four others escaped, the ministry said.
In recent years, riots have erupted inside many Yemeni jails, with inmates sometimes demanding rights including good treatment and supply necessary needs for them.
