Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Lt. Gen. Yahya Sari said Sana'a forces shot down a CH-4 armed reconnaissance drone at dawn on Sunday while it was carrying out hostile activity in the skies over al-Jawf governorate.
In a second statement, Sari said the forces engaged formations of Saudi fighter jets with surface-to-air missiles and forced their withdrawal.
Sari announced the downing of another CH-4 over al-Jawf last week, the fourth of its kind since the Saudi escalation began on July 13, and announced that more than ten Saudi drones had been shot down in total.
Yemen's armed forces say they are also hitting Saudi airfields, Aramco facilities and Saudi-backed forces, and that they will continue until the attacks and blockade end.
