The Armed Forces spokesman indicated that the operation of shooting down the drone was carried out with an undisclosed missile.

The defenses of the Yemeni Armed Forces have shot down four ScanEagle spy drones last December in Al-Jawf and Marib governorates, in addition to a number of Chinese-made spy drones in Shabwa governorate.
On December 24, a ScanEagle drone was shot down with an undisclosed missile, while it was carrying out hostile acts in the airspace of the Al-Yatama area in the Khub Wa Ash-Sha’af District, Al-Jawf Governorate. On the 16th of December, the Air Defenses shot down a spy drone of the same type in the skies of Wadi Ubaidah in the Marib Governorate.
On December 10, the Air Defenses shot down a US-made ScanEagle spy drone over Serwah district in Marib governorate.
The Air Defenses were also able, on December 8, 2021, to shoot down a CH-4 spy drone in Al-Wadi district in Marib, in addition to another ScanEagle drone over Al-Juba region in the same governorate.
On the 4th of December, the Air Defenses shot down a ScanEagle spy drone operated by the US-Saudi aggression in the airspace of the Marib Governorate.
Enjoying complete arms, logistical, and political support on the part of the US, Saudi Arabia and a number of its allies started a war against Yemen in March 2015 to restore power to Yemen's former Washington and Riyadh-aligned officials.
The war has stopped way short of the goal, while killing tens of thousands of Yemenis in the process and pushing the entire Yemen close to the brink of outright famine.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have vowed, though, not to lay down their arms until Yemen's complete liberation from the US-Saudi aggression.
