Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed on Wednesday to have shot down a Saudi Arabian F-15 fighter jet operating over the Marib province. The group stated that the aircraft was engaged in hostile activity when it was struck by a domestically produced surface-to-air missile. Video footage purportedly showing the wreckage of the jet was released by the group to support the claim.
The incident highlights the ongoing conflict in Yemen and the reported advancement of Houthi military capabilities. While the Houthis assert the missile was locally manufactured, the report originated via Iranian media channels, underscoring the regional dimensions of the conflict.
