The Russian-made Antonov aircraft plunged from the sky and crashed into an empty market in al-Hassaba district at the heart of the Yemeni capital Sanaa.
A Yemeni military plane crashed on Wednesday during training over the capital, Sanaa, killing all ten people on board, security officials said.
The Russian-made Antonov aircraft crashed into an empty market in al-Hassaba district, destroying several shops, the officials said. The market has been abandoned since clashes between the country's biggest tribal confederation and security forces in the area during last year's uprising.
The officials said the pilot tried to make an emergency landing after one of the plane's engines failed, but instead, the plane crashed and caught fire.
