Surveillance Aircraft Shot Down in Midi

Local Editor

The Yemeni army and popular committees managed to shoot down a surveillance plane in Hajjah province, a military official said on Friday.

The spy drone was flying in the skyline of Midi district when it was brought down.

Yemen has been under airstrikes by Saudi Arabia since March 26 last year. The Saudi strikes have been meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and bring Hadi back to power.

Nearly 8,280 people, among them 2,236 children, have reportedly been killed and over 16,000 others injured. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
