Yemen's air defense forces shot down an American MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle over the central part of the country. This was reported by a Houthi spokesman, emphasizing that this incident is a significant success for the Yemeni armed forces.

According to a Houthi spokesman, the drone was discovered and destroyed as a result of coordinated air defense operations. The MQ-9 Reaper, known for its advanced technology and reconnaissance and strike capabilities, was shot down at an altitude of several thousand meters, confirming the effectiveness of the air defense systems used by Yemeni forces.
