The Yemeni armed forces announced on Tuesday that they had shot down the second Saudi-led coalition Saudi unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that violated the truce within 24 hours.

The spokesman for the Yemeni army, Brigadier Yahya Sare’e, confirmed that the air defenses managed to shoot down an armed spy plane belonging to the Saudi Air Force at dawn today on the border front off Najran, while it was carrying out hostile acts, in violation of the UN armistice.

He pointed out that the operation was carried out with a locally made surface-to-air missile, and details and type of aircraft will be published at a later time.

This comes less than 24 hours from the shooting down of a Chinese-made CH4 armed spy plane belonging to the Saudi Air Force with a locally-made surface-to-air missile in the airspace of the capital, Sana’a.
