The Yemeni air defenses have shot down a US-made ScanEagle spy plane belonging to the Saudi-led coalition in the airspace of the Juba district, south of Marib Governorate, north-east of Yemen.

Violent confrontations are ongoing between the Yemeni armed forces and Hadi forces backed by Saudi-led coalition aircraft, in Raghwan district, north of Marib.

The Saudi coalition warplanes launched 24 raids on Raghwan district, in an escalating indication of the Saudi coalition’s aerial bombardment on the same district adjacent to Al-Jawf governorate.

Saudi coalition air raids also targeted Madaghl Al-Jadaan and Al-Juba and Sirwah districts, south and west of the city of Marib. 

The Yemeni military media broadcasted Saturday new scenes documenting the liberation of the Taybet Al-Asma border cam and the Rabaa hills chain in the Al-Ajasher border.

Despite intense air raids, the Saudi-led coalition could not regain control over the areas, which is estimated at a total of 163 square kilometers.
