Yemeni army forces, allies shoot down Saudi-led reconnaissance drone in Hudaydah

Yemeni army forces, supported by allied fighters from Popular Committees, have intercepted and targeted an unmanned aerial vehicle belonging to the Saudi-led military coalition as it was flying in the skies over the country’s western coastal province of Hudaydah.

An unnamed Yemeni military official said Yemeni air defense forces and their allies shot down the drone with a surface-to-air missile as it was on a reconnaissance mission over al-Faza area in the al-Tuhayta district of the province, located around 230 kilometers west of the capital Sana’a, early on Tuesday.
