AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Air Defenses of the Yemeni Army and Popular Committees downed on Tuesday morning a hostile spy drone, run by the US-Saudi aggression, across Najran.
Yemeni Armed forces spokesman Brigadier Yahya Sare'e said on Twitter, "the Yemeni air defenses were able - thanks to God - to shoot down a spy drone for aggression this morning in A-Sawh area off Najran."
Brigadier Sare’e said that shooting down the aircraft was with an undisclosed missile while carrying out hostile missions inside Yemeni territory, without giving further details.
In less than a week, this is the third drone to be shot down, as the air defenses of the Army and Popular Committees shot down, on Wednesday evening, a fighter spy drone run by the US-Saudi aggression in Ras Issa area in Hodeidah province.
The Yemeni armed forces spokesman, on Friday morning, also announced the downing of a US-made spy drone a ScanEagle type while on a mission over the battlefront near the southwestern Saudi province of Asir.
Shooting down hostile drones come two months after the Yemeni Armed Forces unveiled two types of air defense systems, Fater1 and Thaqib1, which entered the battle in 2017 and managed to confront warplanes of aggression.
