Iran-backed Houthi rebels say they downed a Saudi drone over the northwest of Yemen, a day after the Yemeni group claimed it attacked oil facilities in the Gulf kingdom.
The Houthis’ military spokesman Yahya Saree says the group “successfully shot down a Turkish-made… armed reconnaissance drone belonging to the Saudi enemy while it was conducting hostile operations.”
