STORYLINE:
Hundreds of Yemenis gathered at a plaza in Sanaa, Yemen's capital, on Sunday night to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Yemeni revolution.
Yemen marks the September Revolution Day on Sept. 26 each year to commemorate the overthrow of the Imam Muhammad al-Badr on this day in 1962, which led to the establishment of the Yemen Arab Republic.
Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014 when the Iran-backed Houthi militia seized control of several northern provinces and forced the Saudi-backed Yemeni government out of the capital Sanaa.
The war has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced 4 million, and pushed the country to the brink of starvation.
