Security forces in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, have used tear gas and batons to disperse thousands of anti-government protesters calling for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to stand down.
They stepped in after pro-government activists clashed with the protesters.
It was the fifth consecutive day of protests inspired by pro-democracy uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.
President Saleh, who has been in power for almost 32 years, has said he does not intend to continue beyond 2013.
His critics have demanded immediate political change.
