SANAA: The self-style militant group Islamic State has taken responsibility for an attack on two Houthi rebel leaders on Monday night in which eight women among 28 people were killed in Sanaa.

The car bomb attack targeted Houthi rebel chief brothers Faycal and Hamid Jayache during a gathering to mourn the death of a family member.

Houthi rebels cordoned off the surrounding area in the centre of the city after the attack, only allowing through emergency services to help evacuate the victims.
