    A screen grab from a video by the Yemeni Military Media shows the moment the YAF's air defenses shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone in Yemen's airspace above Dhamar Province, on Monday, September 16, 2024.

The Yemeni military media released on Monday evening footage of Yemeni air defenses successfully targeting and downing a US MQ-9 drone in Yemen's airspace.

Earlier, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that the YAF shot down a US spy drone, the third in the past week and the 10th since Oct. 7, above Yemen's Dhamar Province.

According to Saree, the MQ-9 Reaper was struck using a homegrown surface-to-air missile.

The YAF have acted as a supportive front for the Palestinian people and their Resistance by carrying out multiple strikes against "Israel" in the occupied territories since its 11-month war on Gaza began.

The most recent and daring attack on the occupation occurred on Sunday against an Israeli military site in Tel Aviv with a newly developed hypersonic ballistic missile, later identified by the Yemeni Military Media as Palestine 2.
