Protests continue to erupt Thursday morning in Sana'a, Yemen and Cairo.

Yemeni officials say the protestors have breached the area past the main gate at the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a.

Yemeni officials told ABC News that there were no casualties at the moment, but that there is a lot of shooting.

The Associated Press reports that no protestors have entered the building which houses the offices at the embassy.

The AP also says demonstrators removed the embassy's sign on the outer wall of the embassy and set tires on fire. Once inside the compound, protestors took down the U.S. flag and burned it.

Meanwhile, protests in Cairo resumed.  Security forces used tear gas on crowds to push them out of the area.

We will bring you more on this developing story as soon as it becomes available.
