A Huthi spokesperson announced the downing of a U.S. drone he said was “carrying out hostile, monitoring and spying operations in the Yemeni territorial waters along with the U.S. military support to the Israeli entity. Hostile acts won’t deter the Yemeni armed forces from continuing to conduct military operations against Israeli entity in a solidarity to the oppression of Palestinian nation”, he warned. A U.S. official indicated that “a U.S. military MQ-9 remotely-piloted aircraft was shot down off the coast of Yemen by Huthi forces”.
