The Yemeni military backed by Ansarullah fighters has shot down a second Saudi spy drone over the past 48 hours. The unmanned aircraft was downed while conducting a surveillance mission in the northwestern province of Sa’ada in Yemen on Monday, Yemeni officials told local media outlets.
Another Saudi surveillance drone was brought down by the Yemeni forces in the southeastern province of Dhamar on Sunday.
Also in early May, Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters seized another Saudi surveillance drone, which had parachute-landed due to a technical fault, in Sa’ada.
Saudi Arabia regularly uses drones for spying missions against Yemen’s military forces across Yemen.
In Yemen, a Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out deadly airstrikes against the country since March.
According to UN records, the Saudi attacks have killed more than 2,600 people and injured at least 11,000 since the US-led Saudi military aggression began against Yemen on March 26.
