Watch: U.S. MQ9 Aircraft Shot Down During Aggressive Operations in Yemen

A footage released by Yemen’s military media shows the downing of a U.S. MQ9 aircraft during its operations in the airspace of Saada province. This incident is seen as part of the ongoing U.S. military support to Israel.

The released video footage meticulously documents the tracking and targeting of the U.S. aircraft. It captures the moment a surface-to-air missile makes a direct hit, causing the aircraft to ignite and subsequently plummet to the ground. The aftermath of the incident, including the wreckage of the downed aircraft, is also visible in the footage.

Earlier, Yemen’s armed forces had confirmed the successful interception and downing of a hostile U.S. MQ9 aircraft by their air defense forces in the skies over Saada province. The aircraft was reportedly engaged in hostile activities at the time of the incident. The forces used an appropriate missile for the operation, as per the statement.
