Yemeni air defenses have destroyed a US-made MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) belonging to Saudi Arabia on Thursday afternoon, in al-Jabaliyah, located in the country's west coast.

"The drone we downed was an American-made MQ-9 Reaper," source in the Air Defense unit told the al-Masirah news network.

"The Saudi air force launched a series of airstrikes on the wreckage of the drone to destroy it before it fell to the hands of the Yemeni fighters," the source added.
