Houthi rebels shot down and destroyed two American MQ-9 Reaper drones within just 24 hours.
Footage released by the Houthis shows the charred remains of the sophisticated U.S. drones, proudly displayed as a warning to Washington.
The back-to-back takedowns mark a major escalation in the region, raising questions about U.S. drone vulnerability and the limits of deterrence in the Middle East.
In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Houthi forces have shot down a second American MQ-9 Reaper drone within just 24 hours, using a locally-made surface-to-air missile. The footage shows the exact moment the US drone was hit over Sanaa Governorate — followed by scenes of flaming wreckage and victorious fighters on the ground. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sarea claims this is the 21st US drone downed since November 2023.

The skies over Yemen lit up once again as US warplanes launched a fresh barrage of deadly airstrikes across the capital Sanaa, Hodeidah, Marib, and other regions. At least three people are confirmed dead, and several more wounded, as 21 strikes targeted not only military sites but also densely populated areas. Explosions shook residential neighborhoods, ambulances rushed through the smoke, and terrified civilians fled their homes. This latest wave of attacks comes just days after a deadly assault on Ras Isa fuel port that claimed 80 lives. With fighter jets roaring overhead and bodies pulled from rubble, the question remains: how many more must suffer?

In a dramatic escalation, U.S. warplanes under President Trump’s command unleashed 13 relentless airstrikes on Houthi targets just hours after a deadly American bombing in Yemen’s Hodeidah. The strikes, part of a 24/7 campaign, come in response to rising Houthi aggression in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. As smoke and fire engulf rebel strongholds, reports suggest this could be one of the most intense aerial assaults yet. With the Houthis vowing revenge and U.S. forces doubling down, tensions in the region are reaching a breaking point

US' 20th Reaper Fall: In a stunning escalation of the Yemen conflict, the Houthis have reportedly shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, marking the 20th such loss for the United States. The drone, valued at over $30 million, was torn apart mid-flight by a surface-to-air missile launched by Houthi forces during Thursday’s American airstrikes on their strongholds.
Footage released by the Houthis shows the drone plummeting from the sky in flames, with locals surrounding the wreckage, chanting "Allahu Akbar." While the US has yet to confirm the loss, the strike highlights the growing sophistication of Houthi anti-air capabilities and their ongoing efforts to challenge US military dominance in the region.

Houthis have launched a powerful revenge attack targeting U.S. and Israeli military assets. The USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman aircraft carriers were struck by ballistic missiles and drones in a coordinated assault in the Arabian and Red Seas. This marks the first strike on the Carl Vinson since its arrival in the region. Houthis claim the attack is a direct response to the recent deadly U.S. airstrike on Yemen’s oil port that killed 58 people. In another blow to U.S. capabilities, a fifth American MQ-9 drone was shot down over Sana'a. As tensions soar, this bold strike signals a turning point in the regional power struggle.

Yemen’s armed forces have launched a hypersonic missile at Israel’s Sdot Micha base, reportedly housing nuclear-capable Jericho missiles. Another ballistic missile struck Ben Gurion Airport, Israel’s busiest, forcing a shutdown. Yemen’s Houthi-led forces claim both attacks achieved objectives, with air traffic halted and widespread panic among settlers. Meanwhile, Yemen downed its 19th U.S. MQ-9 drone, escalating tensions amid continued American airstrikes. Yemen vows ongoing retaliation until Gaza genocide and U.S. aggression cease. The move marks a bold show of force targeting strategic Israeli and American assets across the region.
