The rampage continues.

Sanaa, Yemen (CNN) — Demonstrators breached a security wall at the American Embassy in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Thursday, as the mission was attacked by angry protesters amid escalating anti-American sentiment.

The protests are the latest to roil the Middle East over the online release of a film produced in the United States that denigrates Prophet Mohammed.

In Egypt, riot police fired warning shots and tear gas early Thursday outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to keep hundreds of protesters back from the compound walls, with minor injuries reported.

The clashes follow Tuesday’s attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other consular officials dead and has heightened tensions at U.S. diplomatic missions across the region.

In Sanaa, several thousand Yemeni protesters demonstrated outside the U.S. Embassy, with some penetrating the building’s security wall.

“Given recent regional developments, earlier this morning, angry protesters unfortunately flooded the security perimeter of the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, Yemen and breached the embassy’s wall,” according to a statement released by Yemen through its embassy in Washington.
