Yemeni Forces Shoot Down Saudi Military Logistics Plane in Ta’iz Province

The Yemeni army and popular forces shot down a military plane of the Saudi-led coalition forces used for dropping weapons and ammunition for the terrorists and Saudi troops in the province of Ta’iz.

The Saudi-led coalition’s logistics plane was hit while flying over the mountainous area of Sabr in Ta’iz province on Thursday.

Provincial officials confirmed that the aircraft was exploded in Hasban area of Sabr region.

The Saudi planes drop weapons and munitions for their troops in Ta’iz after their recent defeats in the province.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 219 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 6,914 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.

Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
