A 14-year-old boy was killed and another missed as torrential rains swept them in Yemen’s eastern province of Shabwa on Friday, local sources said.

The rains, unprecedented since 2006, left heavy damage on farms, roads and other properties in several areas of the province, and traffic was blocked in different places.

The unaccounted-for boy was swept by the torrents in Markha district of Shabwa as locals are still searching for him.
