Yemen claims to have shot down a US Reaper drone
YEMEN’S Houthi-led government claimed yesterday that it had shot down another of the US military’s MQ-9 Reaper drones.
The Yemenis aired footage of wreckage that corresponded to known pieces of the unmanned aircraft.
They said they shot down the drone with a surface-to-air missile, part of a renewed series of assaults this week after a relative lull in their campaign over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
