The spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced that the Yemeni air defenses managed to shoot down an American spy plane, "Scan Eagle", with a surface-to-air missile, while it was "carrying out hostile acts" in the airspace of the Al-Mushajah area in the Serwah district of Ma'rib governorate.
Saree pointed out that the military media lens documented the operation, and that the scenes of the targeting and the wreckage of the plane will be broadcast at a later time.
