Attack by Iran’s missile
The Associated Press has quoted a Houthi commander as saying that the attack on the drone took place in Marib province, which is famous for oil and gas. Houthi rebels have shot down this drone by attacking it with Iran’s missile number 358. This missile is capable of shooting down any aircraft.
Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Sari has called it a big victory. Sari says that the US government is deliberately adopting a repressive attitude in Yemen.
