A bomb explosion on Wednesday in an open market in Yemen’s oasis city of Marib killed seven people and wounded 18, security and medical sources said.
The blast targeted a market selling qat, the mild narcotic leaf popular in the Arabian Peninsula country, a security official in Marib said.
A medical source at the city’s public hospital confirmed the toll.
Forces loyal to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi control Marib, which is east of Yemen’s rebel-held capital Sanaa.
Marib has seen fierce battles between Hadi loyalists and Shiite Houthi rebels and their allies.
