The Yemeni Armed Forces’ Air Defense Force successfully downed a United States MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e announced early Thursday.
The Armed Forces targeted the hostile drone while it was violating Yemeni airspace and carrying out hostile missions over the airspace of Hodeidah Governorate using a domestically manufactured surface-to-air missile, Sare’e stated.
This is the second drone that our air defenses have downed within 72 hours and the 17th throughout the Battle of the Promised Victory and the Sacred Jihad in support of Gaza, he declared.
” The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their continued efforts to confront all enemy attempts to undermine our country’s sovereignty. They, along with the great Yemeni people, will continue their operations in support of Gaza, and these operations will not cease until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted,” the Brigadier General stressed.
