Yemeni air defenses shoot down American MQ9 drone
Yemeni air defenses successfully shot down an American MQ9 drone over Saada Governorate, according to a statement by General Yahya Sarea, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces.
The drone, which was reportedly conducting hostile operations, marks the eleventh of its kind to be brought down by Yemeni forces in the ongoing battle of the 'Promised Conquest' in support of Palestine and Lebanon.
This announcement comes amid escalating regional tensions, as Yemeni forces continue to carry out military operations in solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people, particularly in light of Israel’s ongoing aggression in Gaza and Lebanon.
Earlier, the Israeli military, with support from the U.S., launched 17 air raids targeting civilian infrastructure in Al-Hodeidah Governorate, including the port and a power station. These attacks resulted in the deaths of five civilians and injuries to 57 others, as confirmed by Yemeni authorities.
In response, the Yemeni Armed Forces pledged to escalate their military operations against what they described as the "criminal enemy." This includes a recent missile strike targeting Jaffa Airport, also known as Ben Gurion Airport, during the arrival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The strike was executed with a "Palestine 2" ballistic missile.
The Yemeni forces emphasized their continued commitment to supporting the Palestinian and Lebanese people, vowing that such aggressions would not deter their actions in what they describe as a religious and moral duty. (ILKHA)
