也门官员说，英国驻也门首都萨那大使馆的一辆汽车遭到火箭袭击，造成几人受伤。同时一名枪手在首都郊外打死了在一个能源设施工作的一名法国男子。有关官员说，星期三在萨那的袭击事件中，那枚火箭在载有英国驻也门大使馆第二把手的一辆汽车附近爆炸，导致汽车受损，还有三名路人受伤。英国说，这辆汽车当时正在返回萨那大使馆的途中，车上有五名使馆工作人员，其中有一人受轻伤。
在另一起事件中，官员说，一名保安在位于萨那附近的奥地利石油天然气公司OMV的大院里开枪打死了一名法国人。这名法国人一直为法国工程公司斯皮工作，该公司目前同奥地利石油天然气公司签有合约。也门安全部队之后解除了枪手的武装并将他拘押，他的动机尚不清楚。

Officials say the rocket exploded Wednesday near a car carrying Britain's number two diplomat in Yemen, damaging the vehicle and wounding three bystanders. Britain said the car was on its way to the embassy in Sana'a with five staff on board, one of whom suffered minor injuries.
In the other incident, officials say a security guard shot and killed the Frenchman inside a compound of Austrian oil and gas company OMV near Sana'a. The French man had been working for French engineering company SPIE under contract to OMV.Yemeni security forces later disarmed and detained the gunman, whose motive was not clear.
