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.

"The armed forces affirm that they will spare no effort in carrying out their responsibilities in protecting the Yemeni airspace and confronting all hostilities," he added.

Yesterday, Saturday, Saree had announced the attack on King Khalid Air Base, southwest of Saudi Arabia, with a booby-trapped drone.

Violent confrontations continue between the forces of the Sana’a government on the one hand, and the forces of President Hadi, backed by the aircraft of the Saudi coalition, on the eastern fronts of the Serwah district, near the city of Ma’rib, west of the Ma’rib governorate, in the northeast of Yemen.
