The Yemeni army shot down a Saudi warplane northeast of the northern city of Sa’ada in Yemen, as the Al Saud regime continues its aerial attacks against the country unabated.

According to Yemen’s al-Masirah television, the Saudi plane was downed in Kataf district of the province in Yemen.

Saudi jets have been carrying out military strikes against Yemen since March 26.

Meanwhile, Saudi military attacks against Yemen continue to claim lives as well.

Saudi Arabia began its US-led military aggression against Yemen on March 26 -- without a UN mandate -- in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement, and to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
