Yemeni Forces Down Saudi Drone After Exchange of Strikes
Yemen’s Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, said on Sunday that its forces shot down a Saudi drone over northwest Yemen a day after the group launched strikes targeting Saudi oil facilities in response to Saudi strikes in Yemen. Yemeni media published photos of what is said to be the wreckage of a Turkish-made Bayraktar drone, which is designed to fire missiles to carry out airstrikes, that Ansar Allah said was being operated by the Saudi military to conduct “hostile” operations over Yemen’s northern al-Jawf province. Videos on social media appear to show that an Aramco facility in Jazan was struck, but the extent of the damage is unclear.
