 The Yemeni army says its forces have shot down an Emirati Air Force drone in northern Yemen.

Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sari announced this morning (Friday) that a UAE Air Force drone had been shot down in Yemen.

 A spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces said: “Our air defense – thank God – this morning was able to deploy a US-made MQ-9 reconnaissance drone belonging to the UAE Air Force during a hostile operation in Al-Jawf province.” “To overthrow.”

 The statement added that the targeting operation was carried out with a Yemeni air-to-surface missile; But it has not been unveiled yet.

 Hours later, a spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces amended an earlier statement to say the downed UAV was an MQ-1.

 The Yemeni military has always stated that it will target the countries’ strategic facilities and military equipment as long as the Saudi coalition continues to invade Yemen. Sanaa forces have repeatedly announced the downing of Emirati and Saudi drones in recent months.

 Saudi Arabia, at the head of an Arab coalition backed by the United States, has launched a military aggression against Yemen and imposed a land, air and sea blockade on April 26, 2015, claiming that it was trying to bring the resigned Yemeni president back to power.

 The military aggression did not achieve any of the goals of the Saudi coalition and was only accompanied by the killing and wounding of tens of thousands of Yemenis, the displacement of millions, the destruction of the country’s infrastructure and the spread of famine and infectious diseases.
