The Yemeni army and popular forces have successfully downed a Saudi spy drone in Saudi Arabia’s Jizan province by using a remote-controlled device in a bid to safely capture the unmanned aerial vehicle [UAV].
The Yemeni forces managed to bring down the Saudi unmanned aerial vehicle [UAV] in a safe and sound manner, al-Masirah TV reported.
Recently last week, the Yemeni fighters also brought down a spy drone belonging to the United Arab Emirates [UAE] in Yemen’s southern region of Mukayris.
Saudi Arabia has been bombarding Yemen for 159 days now, while the Yemeni army backed by popular committees and tribal fighters has been responding to the attacks on their country.
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March 26. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].
The US-led Saudi aggression began in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the country’s fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
The ’civilian’ death toll in Yemen has risen to at least 1,916, with another 4,186 civilians wounded since the escalation of the conflict in March, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights [OHCHR] reported recently this month.
