Yemeni armed forces shoot down a spy plane in Usaylan
Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announces the downing of a Saudi coalition spy plane in the Usaylan district of Shabwa governorate.
On Wednesday, the Yemeni armed forces shot down an armed spy plane as it carried out hostile acts in the airspace of the Usaylan district of Shabwa governorate in Yemen.
Yemeni forces spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, confirmed in a tweet on Twitter that a UAE plane was shot down by a locally-manufactured surface-to-air missile.

The Yemeni armed forces announced two days ago that they had seized an "Emirati military cargo ship with military equipment on board, which entered Yemeni waters without any license, and is engaged in hostile acts."
It is noteworthy that last month, the Yemeni air defenses also shot down a Saudi Air Force spy plane in the Silan district.
A few days ago, the Yemeni armed forces announced the shooting down of a US-made Scan Eagle spy plane for the Saudi coalition, in the airspace of the Juba region in the Marib governorate.
