xinhua news agency, kuwait city, september 7 (reporter yin zhi) sana'a news: yemen's houthi armed forces said on the evening of the 7th that the organization once again shot down a us military mq-9 "reaper" drone in marib province in northeastern yemen.

yahya saraiya, a spokesman for the yemeni houthi armed forces, said in a statement on the group's controlled masirah tv that the shooting down of the drone was "a response to the us and uk aggression against yemen."

sarea said the u.s. drone was "in the process of conducting hostilities" when it was shot down. he did not disclose the time of the downing of the drone, saying it was the eighth time the houthis had shot down a drone of this type since october last year.

the us military has not yet made a statement on this. the mq-9 is a reconnaissance and strike drone that can perform reconnaissance and surveillance missions as well as carry missiles to strike ground targets.

after the new round of israeli-palestinian conflict broke out in october last year, the houthi armed forces used drones and missiles to attack targets in the red sea and the gulf of aden, demanding that israel stop its military operations in the gaza strip. since january 12 this year, the united states and the united kingdom have launched air strikes on houthi armed targets many times, causing casualties. some countries condemned the actions of the united states and britain, believing that this is an infringement on yemen's sovereignty and will exacerbate regional tensions. military news express (xinhua news agency)
