The spokesperson for the Ansar Allah movement, Mohammad Abdul Salam, stressed on Wednesday that the Yemeni armed forces will continue their operations to support Palestinians in Gaza until the Israeli aggression stops, confirming that a hostile US spy plane was downed in the airspace of Yemeni territorial waters.

Abdul Salam said on X that this operation reaffirms that the Yemeni Armed Forces are ready to confront any hostile actions violating the country's national sovereignty.

بإسقاط طائرة أمريكية معادية في أجواء المياه الإقليمية اليمنية قواتنا المسلحة بعون الله تؤكد أنها حاضرةٌ للتصدي لكل العمليات العدوانية التي تنتهك السيادة الوطنية، ومستمرة في عملياتها المساندة لغزة حتى توقف العدوان الإسرائيلي.

Moreover, the reports were confirmed by US officials as cited by Fox News.

"We can confirm that a US military MQ-9 remotely-piloted aircraft was shot down while in international airspace over international waters off the coast of Yemen," a Fox News correspondent reported, citing a senior US defense official.

Earlier today, the spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree revealed that the armed forces shot down a US MQ-9 drone over the country's territorial waters, which was carrying out spy activities in support of the Israeli occupation entity.

 

In a statement, Saree stressed that no hostilities will deter Yemen from carrying out operations against the Israeli occupation entity in support of the oppressed Palestinian people.

US officials initially denied knowledge of a missing American drone, but then later admitted the event took place when the Yemeni Armed Forces released footage of the operation.
