Three Houthis have been killed and 10 others injured in a blast that occurred in the city of Sa'ada in Yemen on Wednesday from a wired motorbike in a local market.

On Sunday, thousands of Houthi demonstrators gathered outside Yemen's National Security Intelligence Agency headquarters under a rally called, "Loyalty to the Blood of Our Martyrs."

The demonstrators urged Yemeni officials to exercise their rights and prosecute the culprits.

"We came out in support of our martyrs and to say that these demonstrations will be victorious because we will not let the blood of our martyrs go to waste," a demonstrator said.

The protesters demanded dismantling the NSIA services because of its involvement in suppression of political activists under the ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh, and release of Houthis held captive by authorities.

The Houthi movement draws its name from the tribe of its founding leader Hussein Badreddine al-Houthi, and witnessed many oppressive acts by the toppled President.
