Yemen's Houthis say they downed US drone over al-Bayda province
Yemen's Houthis downed a U.S. MQ9 drone over al-Bayda province in southern Yemen, the Iran-aligned group's military spokesperson said in a televised statement on Tuesday.

The Houthis said last Friday they downed another U.S. MQ9 drone over the southeastern province of Maareb.
