The Hajj starts next week, and Saudi Arabia is stepping up security in case of an AQAP attack. And you may remember that last week some Yemenis on their way there died in a bus crash.

Four other people were killed in Abyan province on Monday, part of various ongoing tribal clashes. According to the article "the government had chosen and intended to keep silent about the incident."
An electrical room at a sports stadium in Aden, that is part of the Gulf Cup facilities, caught on fire. It caused a power outage for about an hour. There were a lot of smoke and flames at the stadium, which supposedly were part of a drill for firefighters and security staff.
