Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim to have shot down yet another U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Hodeida district, marking their 15th successful strike on the high-value UAVs since the start of their anti-U.S. and anti-Israel campaign. According to the Houthis, the drone was conducting “hostile operations” in Yemeni airspace. The group has vowed to continue targeting U.S. assets and warned they are fully prepared for any further escalations. Meanwhile, a U.S. defense official confirmed that an MQ-9 drone was lost over the Red Sea while conducting operations under "Operation Poseidon Archer."
