Several car bomb blasts targeted three mosques as well as the political office of the Ansarullah movement in Yemen's capital of Sana'a, killing at least 31 people on Wednesday.

Car bombs targeted the three mosques in Sana'a, al-Masirah TV reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, the bomb blasts targeted the Alkebsi Mosque, the al-Qubbat al-Khazra Mosque near the Hayel region, and the Hashoosh Mosque in Sana'a.
Dozens of others have reportedly been injured.

A car bomb also exploded near the political office of the Ansarullah movement in the al-Jaraf neighborhood.
The house of Saleh al-Samad, the head of Ansarullah's political council, was also reportedly targeted in a bombing.

Another car bomb went off in front of the house of Taha Al-Mutawakel, a member of the Ansarullah movement, in the Hay al-Jaraf region in Sana'a, a security official was quoted by local media outlets as saying.

The so-called "Daesh" ["ISIL"] Takfiri extremist group has claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks, saying that they have been carried out in "revenge" against the Ansarullah revolutionaries.

The Saudi regime began its US-led aggression against Yemen on March 26, with an aim to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and bring back to power Yemen's fugitive former president, Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
