Rebel shelling destroys museum in Yemen
Shelling by Yemen's Shiite Houthi rebels in the heavily contested western city of Taiz struck a museum housing rare manuscripts and the possessions of a deceased ruler.
Activist Reham al-Badr, who inspected the National Museum in Taiz, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Shiite rebels have routinely shelled the district where the museum is located, which is defended by local fighters.
She says the museum was struck Sunday.
