Yemen's Houthi revolutionaries said they shot down a fighter jet belonging to a Saudi-led military coalition over the Yemeni northern province of Saada on Sunday, the state-run news agency Saba reported.
Yemeni air defense forces have intercepted and shot down a twin-engine and multirole Panavia Tornado combat aircraft belonging to the Saudi-led military alliance involved in the aerial bombardment campaign against Yemen.
The fighter jet was targeted on Sunday evening as it was flying in the skies over Kitaf wa al-Boqe'e district in the country’s northwestern mountainous province of Saada, Yemen's Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported.
The aircraft was struck with a surface-to-air missile fired by Yemeni forces.
The jet had purportedly taken part in airstrikes against residential neighborhoods in Yemen. The development was also reflected on the official Twitter page of al-Masirah.
