The article reports on recent air strikes conducted by the US in Yemen, focusing on Houthi claims of shooting down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone. The strikes reportedly targeted various locations, including Kamran Island and the Al Salif district, resulting in civilian casualties, including women and children. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree noted this incident marks the seventh US drone downed this month. Tensions continue as the Houthis claim their actions are in solidarity with Palestinians, while the US states that its military campaign will persist until the Houthis cease fire against vessels in the Red Sea.
Yahya Saree claimed that this is the seventh US drone that the group has downed so far this month, citing ongoing conflict as tensions escalate.
The US has been carrying out near-daily, deadly air attacks against what it claims are Houthi targets in Yemen, resulting in over 200 deaths since March.
The latest attack comes just days after 12 people were killed in air strikes conducted by the US on Yemen's capital Sanaa, highlighting the escalating violence.
The Houthis have rejected the US assault, emphasizing their targeting of ships is in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, not arbitrary aggression.
