In Taiz, Yemen's second largest city, clashes erupted Tuesday between gunmen and army troops near the presidential palace. It was not immediately known whether there were casualties, but a shell fired by a tank near the palace landed at a nearby residential area, killing four people, including three children.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
