The Yemeni air defense forces shot down an American MQ-9 drone while it was conducting enemy reconnaissance and combat operations in the airspace of Saada governorate, the country’s military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said in statement on Tuesday.
This is the second drone that our air defenses have successfully downed within 72 hours, and it is the ninth to be shot down during the battle of the Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad battle in support of Al-Aqsa Flood battle, according Yahya Sare’e.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces commend the heroic operation of the martyr fighter Maher Al-Jazi, who decided to honor the blood of the martyrs in Gaza in the most fitting way,” the statement read.
The Yemeni Armed Forces called on all members of the Arab and Islamic nation to fulfill their religious, ethical, and humanitarian duties toward the Palestinian people, who have been subjected to genocide for almost a year with American and British support.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that they will continue their military operations until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted,” the brigadier general stressed.
