The Yemeni army backed by the popular committees and the Houthi Ansarullah forces announced on Tuesday that their troops shot down an enemy aircraft belonging to the Arab Coalition forces in the Al-Jawf Governorate of Yemen.
The Spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said “the air defenses managed to shoot down a CH-4 fighter reconnaissance plane in Al-Jawf Governorate while it was conducting hostilities in Yemeni airspace.”
He explained that “the plane was shot down after being targeted by an air-to-surface missile, which will be revealed later.”
“The plane is the third of its kind to be shot down,” Saree noted in a statement posted on his Facebook page.
This is the fourth enemy reconnaissance aircraft to be shot down by the Yemeni forces in the last week.
