Yemen's Houthi group has said their air defences have successfully shot down an American MQ-9 drone over the northeastern province of Marib.
Severe flooding has hit several provinces of Yemen, leaving more than 150 people dead and thousands more displaced as of Sunday, according to a Yemeni source and a UN agency.
The death toll from the week-long heavy rains and floods in western Yemen has risen to 45, Yemen's state TV reported Friday, citing a statement from the Yemen Red Crescent Society.

The impact on the Yemeni population caught between the Saudi forces and Houthi rebels has been devastating. Ordinary Yemenis have no place of refuge in the region to flee to from the incessant violence. Experts peg the number of internally displaced persons in Yemen at close to four million.
The project aims to reach 578,000 children, 7,000 teachers and 54,000 community members in Yemen, it added.
Among 2.2 million children, 538,000 are severely malnourished. An estimated 1.3 million women could be “acutely malnourished” by the end of the year. In a prognosis that is as graphic as it is heart-rending, Catherine Russell, executive director of Unicef, has warned that “more and more children are going to bed hungry in Yemen. This puts them at increased risk of physical and cognitive impairment, and even death.”
The Yemeni government believes that landmines are so widespread that it could take multiple decades to remove all of them.
The official confirmed that the mountainous areas in Shabwa and other turbulent neighbouring provinces are witnessing an active presence of Al Qaeda.
