The Yemeni Armed Forces announced they downed yet another US MQ-9 drone on Sunday, marking the 19th UAV downed by the YAF as the US continues its aggression on Yemen in defense of "Israel".

The UAV force of the Yemeni Armed Forces announced in a statement the downing of an advanced American MQ-9 drone, which came in response to the ongoing US aggression against Yemen and its horrific massacres against the Yemeni people.

With the estimated unit cost of an MQ-9 drone at around $33 million, the total losses incurred by the US from the downing of these drones in Yemen have now surpassed $600 million.

US aggression won't weaken our military capabilities: al-Houthi

Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the head of Ansar Allah, stated that the US has failed to diminish their military strength in a speech delivered on Thursday.

The leader of Ansar Allah affirmed that "the Americans have not been able, and will never be able, to weaken our military capabilities," asserting that "the American aggression only contributes to further developing them more and more."

Sayyed al-Houthi further asserted that the US cannot undermine Yemen’s military stability, as it is built on unshakable ideological foundations and deeply entrenched resilience, while also condemning America’s intensified efforts to exert pressure on Yemen both politically and publicly, which he claimed was the motive behind their latest aggressive campaign targeting civilian infrastructure in the country.

He emphasized that "the Yemeni stance has an economic, security, military, and strategic impact on the Israeli enemy, and this is a very concerning situation for the enemies."

This comes as the United States continues to conduct a brutal aggression on Yemen, killing hundreds of civilians including women children since mid-March.

US airstrikes on Yemen kill, wound over 300 civilians

Yemen’s Ministry of Health reported on Sunday that US airstrikes across the country have caused 338 civilian casualties—including women and children—since mid-March, with Health Ministry spokesperson Anis al-Asbahi stating that the strikes, particularly since March 16, have left 117 dead and 221 injured.

This came shortly after the United States warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes on April 13 across central and northern Yemen late on Saturday, hitting targets in the governorates of al-Bayda and Saada.

In a separate assault, three US airstrikes targeted the al-Sahleen area in the al-Salem subdistrict of Kitaf District, situated east of the Saada Governorate. The area lies near Yemen’s northern frontier, a region frequently targeted in the ongoing US aggression.
