Yemeni forces bring down Saudi spy drone in Jizan

Yemeni forces have successfully brought down a Saudi spy drone in the kingdom’s southwestern border region of Jizan, reports say.

Yemeni media said a technical team of the army and allied Houthi Ansarullah fighters managed to bring down the aircraft intact on Sunday.

Saudi authorities have not yet released any comment on the incident.

In another development, the Yemeni army fired a Qaher 1 ballistic missile at a gathering of the Saudi-backed militants loyal to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, in the Maraziq dessert in Jawf Province. There were no immediate reports of possible casualties and the extent of damage.
