Changing array of data by sed

Hi all,
Hope you are fine all

I want to change a certain field in specific array for example I got a file like below:

Code:
<alarmsend>yes</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>5</type>
<alarmsend>yes</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>1</type>
<alarmsend>yes</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>3</type>
<alarmsend>yes</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>5</type>


So I want to change alarm send to No for all type 5 for example to get out put as below

Code:
<alarmsend>no</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>5</type>
<alarmsend>yes</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>1</type>
<alarmsend>yes</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>3</type>
<alarmsend>no</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>5</type>


Thanks in advance
