An Apache helicopter of the Saudi-led coalition was shot down in Ber al-Maraziq area located between Mareb and Jawf provinces, a military official said Monday.
The official explained that the air defenses of the Yemeni army and popular committees managed to target the hostile helicopter, which led to its downfall.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
