Yemeni forces announce the downing of a Saudi drone Thursday, to repel Saudi warplanes.
In the early hours of November 15, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Yahya Sari announced that Yemeni forces shot down a Saudi CH-4 armed reconnaissance UAV while it was conducting hostile operations over al-Jouf province, using what he described as appropriate weapons.
Sari said it was the fifth Saudi drone shot down since the escalation began.
In a separate statement, he said Yemen's air defenses had engaged several formations of Saudi warplanes using locally made surface-to-air missiles, forcing them to retreat. No location specified for this action.
