The Yemeni armed forces said that it has shot down another advanced American MQ-9 drone over the country’s airspace.
The UAV force of the Yemeni Armed Forces announced in a statement on Sunday the downing of the drone, which came on Sunday, Press TV reported.
The downing, the statement said, is a response to the ongoing American aggression against Yemen and its horrific massacres against the Yemeni people.
The average unit cost of an MQ-9 is estimated at $33 million, which means the American loss from the downing of the drones in Yemen is already more than $600 million.
Earlier, Yemeni forces struck vital Israeli targets in the occupied territories. During those operations, Yemen fired two ballistic missiles, including a hypersonic one, at an Israeli military base and Ben Gurion Airport.
A Yemeni drone also hit a vital Israeli target in the occupied lands.
“By the grace of Allah, both operations have successfully achieved their objectives, shutting down Ben Gurion Airport for about an hour, causing panic and confusion among the settlers, forcing millions of them to enter shelters,” the Yemeni forces said.
Yemen has vowed that operations against American and Israeli targets will continue as long as the genocide in Gaza and US aggression against Yemen persist.
“The Israeli enemy, along with the Americans, must realize that beloved Yemen—its leadership, people, and army—will not back down from its steadfast position in supporting and backing the oppressed Palestinian people, nor will it abandon its religious, moral, and humanitarian duties, regardless of the repercussions and the outcomes,” the Yemeni forces added.
