Yemeni forces have successfully downed a third American surveillance drone in the span of a week
In a significant development, Yemeni Armed Forces have successfully downed a sophisticated American drone. This action is in solidarity with the Palestinian people, who are experiencing a brutal assault in the Gaza Strip, allegedly supported by the United States. Moreover, the move serves as a protest against what Yemen perceives as ongoing U.S. aggression toward their nation.
On Monday, an MQ-9 Reaper drone was hit while operating in the airspace over Dhamar Province, located in western Yemen.

The dual-purpose heavy aircraft, designed for both combat and reconnaissance missions, is valued at approximately $35 million.
For the third time in a week, the military forces successfully downed a drone of this type, marking the 10th incident of its kind since October 7.
Since the onset of the Israeli offensive on Gaza, military forces have conducted multiple strikes targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.
On Sunday, pro-Palestinian factions launched their most audacious attack to date, targeting an Israeli military installation in Tel Aviv with a state-of-the-art hypersonic ballistic missile.
On Sunday, the leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement reiterated the nation’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause amidst the ongoing Israeli conflicts. The leader emphasized that military operations would persist until the Israeli regime ceases its war efforts and lifts the siege.
The ongoing Israeli offensive, backed by unwavering political, military, and intelligence support from the United States, has resulted in the deaths of at least 41,206 Palestinians, predominantly women and children.
The military forces have also been targeting Israeli ships and vessels traversing to and from the occupied territories in an effort to compel the regime to halt both the ongoing war and the concurrent siege imposed on Gaza.
Conversely, the United States has been conducting military operations in Yemen in an effort to halt these activities.
