Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis say they downed a US MQ9 drone last night over the southeastern province of Maareb, the group’s military spokesman says.

The Houthis say they will release images and videos to support their claim and add that they had targeted the drone using a locally made surface to air missile.
