Seven people are reported dead in Yemen after a military plane crashed into a built-up area near Change Square in Sana'a, AFP reported.

Most of those dead are thought to be civilians, as the Sakhoi-22 plane is thought to carry only one pilot and no other crew.

The pilot and six civilians were killed near the square, which was at the epicenter of the revolt against former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
