The Yemeni-rebel group has downed a US MQ-9 drone in Saada province, the group’s military spokesperson Yahya Saree has announced days after another military drone was downed over Yemen.
This is one of several drones of this type to be shot down since the start of the war on Gaza, he said.
Since last November, the Houthis have been attacking Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea as an act of solidarity with Palestinians being killed in Gaza.
The Yemeni group also started attacking ships linked to the US and the UK after they launched a military campaign in January to end the Houthis’ assaults on shipping lanes in the region.
