Amid another wave of United States strikes on Yemen late on April 13, the Houthis (Ansar Allah) announced that they had shot down another MQ-9 Reaper combat drone.
MQ-9 combat drones, which cost upwards of $30 million per a unit, are primarily used to collect intelligence, but have the ability to conduct pinpoint strikes. The advanced drones can operate for more than 27 hours and reach altitudes of over 25,000 feet.
The drone was downed while it was conducting “hostile missions” over the northeastern province of Hajjah, Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a statement, noting that the drone was targeted with a “locally-made missile.”
“This is the fourth aircraft that our air defenses have been able to shoot down in two weeks and the nineteenth during the battle of the promised conquest and the holy jihad in support of Gaza,” the spokesman added.
Earlier in the day, the Houthis announced an attack with two ballistic missiles on targets in central Israel, and said that another drone attack targeted the south of the country. The Israeli military however reported the interception of a single missile.
Another wave of U.S. strikes hit Yemen after the Houthi announcements, with casualties reported in the outskirts of the capital, Sanaa.
The Al-Masirah news channel, which is run by the Houthis, said that six people were killed and at least 26 others were wounded when multiple strikes targeted the Al-Sawari ceramic factory in the Bani Matar district to the west and south of the capital.
The U.S. military resumed strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen earlier on March 15 on orders from President Donald Trump, who said that the large-scale operation was launched in response to the group’s renewed attacks on Israel-affiliated shipping in the Red Sea.
The operation has so far claimed the lives of 123 people and left some 247 others wounded, according to a statement released by the Houthi-run health ministry on April 14.

if the americans and israelis cannot defeat the houthis, hamas or hezbollah, how are they going to defeat russia, china and iran? they are dreaming
it is funny that you think the zionists support americans (or be in the same side)… the god “chosen people” never help some subhumans the likes of americans (as they never have in history, if there was no gain for them ofc). don’t forget that israel was and is the backdoor for china/russia to acquiring western technology/weapons (mid-tier tech but who knows really). didn’t putin invite bibi to russia for victory day? lmao
i do not understand how anybody can be friends with that demon. zionists support american resource extraction and foreign policy that enables this parasitism. they care little about americans. see the u.s.s liberty, the pollard affair, the apollo affair and septembr 911 for reference to their disdain
those are easier to defeat than militant groups iran loses its leadership usa might be able to do a coup and end that dream over their or maybe not but do i see a split in the country very possible outcome iran is multi ethnic country “they say majority follow shia islam” idk we’ll see kurds want their independence supposedly we’ll see what happens then you got azerbaijan from north which are shia and have alliance with israel iran has like 20m of them in their country
remember amiriyah shelter bombing… by killing civilians western countries hope it creates protest/riots against the movement/state (houthis in this case). that is the us goal here and just remember that they have done that in every war they were part of…
remember most of houthis weapons are deep underground and the rtded apes can’t do crab about it.
the iranian ayatollah is bribed by qatar, otherwise he would not sacrifice an entire shiite group for one hamas. syria and lebanon have already been destroyed because of their support for hamas, and yemen will be. when will the ayatollah in iran finally be satisfied? when abdrabbuh mansur hadi being the boss of all of yemen?
why is there no pantsuit for men?
the us government pissing away america’s money , future and prestige murdering righteous houthies for their zionist overlord.
trumps sense of honor and regard for ordinary the american people who elected him has shifted to radical zionism forcing americans to fight unjust israeli wars in a murder for land and profit scheme.
go houthis! keep bitch slapping uncle sam!
great work houthis never give up never give in
kinda like that rick astley song, “never gonna give you up” right?
also why is the black bartender running fitness drills in the video? who the hell is serving drinks if he’s doing summersaults at night?
