SANAA, Yemen — Security officials say two suicide bombers have attacked the headquarters of Yemen’s Shiite rebels in the capital, Sanaa, amid another explosion. There was no immediate report on casualties.

Security officials say the triple attack took place Wednesday in northern and central parts of Sanaa, where offices of rebels also known as Houthis are located.

The officials say the suicide attackers drove two car bombs into the gates of two buildings before detonating them. They say a third attack targeted a gathering of Houthis in Sanaa’s Green Dome district.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists.

Yemen is home of the world’s most dangerous al-Qaida offshoot. It has targeted the Houthis — who have been in control of the capital since September — in dozens of deadly attacks.
