A suicide bomber killed at least 33 people in central Yemen on Wednesday when he blew himself up at a cultural centre where students were celebrating Prophet Mohammad’s birthday, medical sources and a resident said.

They said at least 20 bodies, including women and children, were transferred to al-Thawra hospital in the city of Ibb, while 13 more bodies were taken to another hospital called al-Manar.

The provincial governor was reported to be among a number of people wounded in the attack, local residents said.
