A spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced that the country's air defence units successfully shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone while it was conducting hostile activities over the central province of Bayda.
Yahya Saree, in a televised statement on Tuesday, revealed that the unmanned aerial vehicle was targeted with a locally made surface-to-air missile.
He added that footage of the shootdown would be released later.
According to Saree, this marks the fifth aircraft that Yemeni air defences have downed since the beginning of operations supporting Palestinians in Gaza amid Israel's aggressive campaign.
Yemeni forces have reportedly fired a surface-to-air missile (SAM) at a US F-16 warplane flying over the Red Sea on February 19. According to Fox News, another missile targeted an advanced MQ-9 Reaper drone. The attack follows months of Yemeni operations against US and Israeli targets in response to the Gaza war. While the Pentagon claims the missiles missed, Yemen has successfully downed multiple US drones before. This marks an escalation in tensions, as Yemen vows to defend its sovereignty against continued Western airstrikes.

In a dramatic escalation, US and UK warplanes launched 11 airstrikes on Yemen, targeting strategic locations in the capital Sanaâa, including the September 21st Park, al-Ardi Complex, and the May 22nd Military Industrial Complex. The airstrikes, confirmed by US Central Command (CENTCOM) as âprecision strikes,â were carried out in response to Yemenâs recent military operations.Mohammed Abdul-Salam, spokesperson for Yemenâs Ansarullah movement, condemned the strikes as a blatant violation of Yemenâs sovereignty, vowing continued resistance and support for Palestine. In retaliation, Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) downed an American MQ-9 drone over Marib using a locally developed surface-to-air missile. This marks the 14th drone taken down since Yemen launched its support front for Gaza.

Iran Fires Back at Netanyahu, Trumpâs SecStateâs âFinish the Jobâ Threat. Iran has strongly reacted to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs vow to "finish the job" against Tehran, calling it a gross violation of international law. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei condemned Netanyahuâs remarks, stating that Israel "can't do a thing" against Iran. The comments were made during Netanyahu's joint appearance with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Israel, where they discussed Israelâs ongoing conflict with Iran-backed groups in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. Iran views these threats as hollow and an infringement on international peace.

Hamas Betrayed? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indefinitely postponed the release of Palestinian detainees, citing Hamasâ âhumiliatingâ hostage handover ceremonies as a violation of the ceasefire agreement. The decision comes after footage surfaced of released Israeli captives appearing to praise their captors and question the ongoing conflict. In the viral video, two Israeli hostagesâwho were not scheduled for releaseâmade desperate pleas for Netanyahu to secure their freedom, warning that military pressure would lead to their deaths. With 63 Israelis still held in Gaza and 602 Palestinian prisoners awaiting release, tensions have escalated, throwing the fragile ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal into uncertainty.

US President Donald Trump appears to step back from his controversial Gaza plan after Egypt and Jordan voiced strong opposition. In a Fox News interview, Trump admitted he was âa little bit surprisedâ by their rejection. His proposal aimed to âtake overâ Gaza, eliminate Hamas, and restart development under US control. However, without regional buy-in, Trump now says he will not force the plan but will âsit back and recommend it.â This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gazaâs future governance and stability.

Hezbollah has condemned Israel after Israeli fighter jets flew over the funeral procession of their leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in a dramatic and provocative show of force. The rare and highly charged incident occurred nearly five months after Nasrallah's death in an Israeli airstrike, sparking outrage among Hezbollah supporters. As thousands gathered in Beirut to pay their respects to the slain leader, the sound of Israeli F-16s flying overhead briefly drowned out the chants of the mourners.
