— Local officials in a northern Yemeni town say an explosion at the main post office building has killed at least five people.
No other details were immediately available including how many people were wounded in Saturday's blast.
The officials in the town Saada spoke on condition of anonymity because the government had not officially confirmed the explosion.
Thousands have been killed in the region since a Shiite rebellion against the government erupted in 2004.
In May, a bomb rigged to a motorcycle blew up amid a crowd of worshippers leaving a mosque in Saada, killing at least 18 people and wounding about four dozen others.
