Victims of the explosions were reportedly sent to nearby hospitals. The causes of the incident remain unknown.
Yemen has been mired in a military conflict between the government headed by Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and Shia Houthi rebels, the country’s main opposition force.
Since March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition of mostly Persian Gulf countries has been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthis at Hadi's request.
