Protesters angered by an anti-Islam film made in the US have stormed the grounds of the American embassy in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
Police opened fire in an attempt to hold back the crowds, but failed to prevent them gaining access to the compound and setting fire to vehicles.
A number of people were reported to have been injured.
On Tuesday, the US ambassador to Libya was killed in a fire started after the US consulate in Benghazi was stormed.
Earlier on Thursday, US officials said they were investigating whether the attack in Libya - which killed three other US consul staff and several Libyans - was planned, citing suspicions that a militant jihadist group may have co-ordinated the violence.
