News - Yemen: Yemen's military media shared footage of Yemeni Air Defenses intercepting and shooting down an American MQ9 drone engaged in hostile activities within the airspace of Sa'adah province.

The video captures the monitoring and tracking of the American aircraft, followed by the moment it was targeted by a surface-to-air missile, resulting in a direct hit that caused it to ignite and crash. The scenes also show the wreckage of the plane on the ground.

Earlier, the Armed Forces had announced the successful interception of an American MQ9 aircraft in Sa'adah province's airspace during its hostile missions, indicating the aircraft was targeted with a suitable missile.

This operation underscores a strategic error by the American enemy, as Washington had presumed Yemeni Air Defenses were concentrated solely in the western coastal areas. However, this interception in Sa'adah demonstrates the Air Forces' capability to protect Yemen's entire airspace against hostile aircraft, dealing a significant blow to Washington and affirming Yemeni Air Defense's readiness to safeguard against such threats.
