The group said that the drone in question was an American MQ-9 Reaper. It was brought down in the east of Saada Governorate, reported Al-Masirah. It added that the drone’s wreckage had been documented without further details, while no immediate comment was issued by the United States about the report.
The Saudi coalition claimed Wednesday morning that it was suspending its military operations in Yemen. This is despite the fact that the ceasefire has been repeatedly violated by the Saudi coalition since its announcement.
The ceasefire agreed in Sweden between a delegation from Sana'a and a delegation from Riyadh started on Tuesday, December 18, 2018, in the western Yemeni province of Al-Hudaydah, but the Saudi coalition violates it every day.
Thousands of Yemenis took to the streets in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, and other Yemeni cities to condemn the siege by the United States and Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia, with the support of the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and several other countries, invaded Yemen in March 2015. The outbreak of war by Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen has so far killed tens of thousands and displaced millions of Yemenis.
