Houthis spokesperson Yahya Saree (pictured) said on Tuesday that Yemen's militant group shot down an American MQ-9 drone today and conducted new attacks on the United States aircraft carriers Truman and Vinson, along with the affiliated warships in the Red and Arabian seas.
"The drone was shot down with a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile. This is the seventh drone of its type that our air defenses have shot down in April, and the twenty-second during the Promised Victory and Holy Jiha in support of Gaza," Saree said.
These attacks follow the militant group's similar attacks on the two US aircraft carriers and their naval vessels in the Red Sea from yesterday, after the US military reportedly carried out 29 air raids across Yemen the day before.
