Britain's deputy ambassador to Yemen has survived a rocket attack on an embassy vehicle.
Fionna Gibb was unhurt in the blast in the capital Sana'a, which injured one of her colleagues.
A Foreign Office spokesman said five people were inside the armoured car at the time of Wednesday's attack.
She said that one staff member had suffered minor injuries while two bystanders had also been injured. The bomber - a 22-year-old man - was killed.
The blast comes two days after Yemeni authorities boosted security around embassies in the capital after information about an attack planned by al Qaida.
Foreign Secretary William Hague described the attack as "shameful".
He said: "This morning's attack on staff of the British Embassy in Sana'a highlights the risks our diplomats face working for Britain's interests abroad. I am relieved to hear that only one minor injury was caused."
"This shameful attack on British diplomats will only redouble Britain's determination to work with the government of Yemen to help address the challenges that country faces."
It is the second time in six months that British officials have been targeted in the country.
In April, Tim Torlot, the then British ambassador in Yemen, escaped unharmed after a suicide bomber wearing a school uniform detonated an explosives belt.
