The Yemeni army’s air defense forces downed the helicopter with a surface-to-air missile in the district of Harad in Hajjah.
In late May, Yemeni air defense forces also shot down a Saudi F-16 fighter jet in the northwestern province of Sana’a in Yemen as it was conducting airstrikes against the country.
Saudi warplanes have been carrying out airstrikes against Yemen since March 26, with the Saudi regime defying international calls for a halt to its deadly military aggression, which has led to a deteriorating humanitarian situation in the impoverished country.
Based on UN figures, over 3,261 people have been killed, 1,670 of whom were civilians in the Saudi onslaught.
