An explosive device went off at an office of the Shiite Houthi group in western Sanaa early on Monday, wounding two people and damaging nearby houses, a police official told Xinhua news agency.

The explosion left two Houthi followers seriously wounded in their legs, the official said on condition of anonymity.

Local residents said Houthi fighters hurried to the area and sealed it off.

The blast is the fifth bombing attack in less than a month on the Shiite Houthi group, known locally as Ansarullah, since it advanced to the country's central regions after controlling Sanaa in late September.
