In their second operation of the day, the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced, on Saturday, that they had shot down an American MQ-9 drone with a locally made surface-to-air missile while it was carrying out hostile missions in the skies of al-Bayda Governorate.

In a statement, YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, confirmed that this drone is the 13th of its kind that the Yemeni air defenses have successfully downed since the launch of the support front in defense of the Gaza Strip and Palestine.

Saree emphasized that this operation comes "as a victory for the suffering of the Palestinian people and their fighters and as part of the response to the American-British aggression against Yemen."

Saree also praised the massive popular demonstrations in Sanaa, as well as in various provinces and districts, in support of and solidarity with the Palestinian people.

He further reiterated that the Yemeni Armed Forces "remain committed to confronting all enemy attempts to undermine Yemen's sovereignty," and that they will continue to support Gaza until the aggression against it stops and the siege is lifted.

Nevatim air base struck: YAF

The YAF had announced earlier that they had targeted Nevatim air base, located in the al-Naqab region of southern Israeli-occupied Palestine.

Saree explained that the operation "was carried out using a hypersonic ballistic missile, the Palestine 2, confirming that it "successfully hit its target."

This operation was conducted in support "of the Palestinian people and their fighters, in response to the massacres against our brothers in Gaza, as part of the fifth phase of support in the Battle of the Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad, and as part of the response to Israeli aggression against Yemen," according to Saree.
