Yemen's defence minister says the country's military will take all measures to ensure the safety of foreign diplomatic missions in the country.
Defense 1 Minister Brigadier Mohammad Nasser Ahmad:
"The embassies have moved some of their citizens, but we can make sure that they will remain in Sanaa and not move from Sanaa at all. The threats are a kind of campaign and also a kind of psychological war."
Earlier, Yemeni authorities claimed to have foiled plots by al-Qaida to take over key cities in southern Yemen and attack strategic ports and gas facilities.
The Yemeni government has criticized the U.S and other countries for evacuating 2 some of their embassy staff.
The U.S flew some non-essential embassy staff out of the Yemeni capital of Sanaa earlier in the week and extended closures until Saturday.
Several other countries including Britain and Germany have also evacuated 3 some of their staff with France maintaining their embassy closure until Sunday.
