The U.S. has reportedly lost its sixth MQ-9 Reaper drone to Yemeni rebel forces since October 2023, with the latest shootdown claimed by Houthis in Marib province.
While the U.S. denied the loss, visual evidence showed the downed $30 million drone.
These recurring incidents highlight the rebels' growing capabilities against U.S. assets and the vulnerability of advanced drones in contested airspaces.
Houthi rebels shot down and destroyed two American MQ-9 Reaper drones within just 24 hours. Footage released by the Houthis shows the charred remains of the sophisticated U.S. drones, proudly displayed as a warning to Washington. The back-to-back takedowns mark a major escalation in the region, raising questions about U.S. drone vulnerability and the limits of deterrence in the Middle East.

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Houthi forces have shot down a second American MQ-9 Reaper drone within just 24 hours, using a locally-made surface-to-air missile. The footage shows the exact moment the US drone was hit over Sanaa Governorate — followed by scenes of flaming wreckage and victorious fighters on the ground. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sarea claims this is the 21st US drone downed since November 2023.

US' 20th Reaper Fall: In a stunning escalation of the Yemen conflict, the Houthis have reportedly shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, marking the 20th such loss for the United States. The drone, valued at over $30 million, was torn apart mid-flight by a surface-to-air missile launched by Houthi forces during Thursday’s American airstrikes on their strongholds.
Footage released by the Houthis shows the drone plummeting from the sky in flames, with locals surrounding the wreckage, chanting "Allahu Akbar." While the US has yet to confirm the loss, the strike highlights the growing sophistication of Houthi anti-air capabilities and their ongoing efforts to challenge US military dominance in the region.

Houthis have launched a powerful revenge attack targeting U.S. and Israeli military assets. The USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman aircraft carriers were struck by ballistic missiles and drones in a coordinated assault in the Arabian and Red Seas. This marks the first strike on the Carl Vinson since its arrival in the region. Houthis claim the attack is a direct response to the recent deadly U.S. airstrike on Yemen’s oil port that killed 58 people. In another blow to U.S. capabilities, a fifth American MQ-9 drone was shot down over Sana'a. As tensions soar, this bold strike signals a turning point in the regional power struggle.

Yemen’s armed forces have launched a hypersonic missile at Israel’s Sdot Micha base, reportedly housing nuclear-capable Jericho missiles. Another ballistic missile struck Ben Gurion Airport, Israel’s busiest, forcing a shutdown. Yemen’s Houthi-led forces claim both attacks achieved objectives, with air traffic halted and widespread panic among settlers. Meanwhile, Yemen downed its 19th U.S. MQ-9 drone, escalating tensions amid continued American airstrikes. Yemen vows ongoing retaliation until Gaza genocide and U.S. aggression cease. The move marks a bold show of force targeting strategic Israeli and American assets across the region.

The U.S. Navy's Harry S. Truman may soon exit the Red Sea after enduring multiple strikes from Yemeni forces, including missiles and drones, in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes that targeted civilians. Yemeni defense sources report that the carrier could have been hit, forcing it to retreat. Meanwhile, a U.S. Navy Super Hornet jet fell into the sea amid the attack. With rising tensions in the region and ongoing missile threats, the Truman may follow other carriers that have withdrawn under pressure from Yemeni forces.

A $60 million U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet has been lost under mysterious circumstances in the Red Sea after what appears to be a high-intensity encounter involving the USS Harry S. Truman and Houthi forces. According to the U.S. Navy, the aircraft was under tow when the move crew lost control, sending it overboard — but questions are mounting. The incident comes amid escalating attacks on the Truman carrier group by Yemen’s Ansar Allah forces, sparking speculation of a potential strike rather than an accident. With rising tensions in the region and Truman’s recent history of close calls, experts are questioning the official narrative.

The United States has launched a new wave of airstrikes across Yemen, targeting Sana'a, Sa'ada, Al-Hudaydah, and Ma'rib, following Yemen's hypersonic missile strike on Haifa. U.S. warplanes struck residential and strategic areas in multiple governorates, including deadly raids in Barash and Mount Nuqum. This marks a dramatic escalation in regional retaliation, with Yemeni drones also hitting Israeli military sites. As the conflict deepens, casualties rise and fears of wider war grow. Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed missile impacts, adding pressure on Israel's defense systems.

The skies over Yemen lit up once again as US warplanes launched a fresh barrage of deadly airstrikes across the capital Sanaa, Hodeidah, Marib, and other regions. At least three people are confirmed dead, and several more wounded, as 21 strikes targeted not only military sites but also densely populated areas. Explosions shook residential neighborhoods, ambulances rushed through the smoke, and terrified civilians fled their homes. This latest wave of attacks comes just days after a deadly assault on Ras Isa fuel port that claimed 80 lives. With fighter jets roaring overhead and bodies pulled from rubble, the question remains: how many more must suffer?

US Warplanes, Drones Rain Fire in Yemen: The United States launched its most intense bombing campaign yet in Yemen, with over 100 airstrikes targeting 80 Houthi military and infrastructure sites across multiple regions. Warplanes and drones rained fire over the capital Sanaa, Hodeida, Saada, Amran, Marib, and al-Jawf, triggering deafening explosions and sending plumes of smoke into the sky. Local reports indicate severe damage, with a mosque in Sanaa hit and communication networks disrupted. This marks a significant escalation in US military action, shifting from targeting launch sites to striking key Houthi personnel and urban centers. The Houthis claim at least 57 people have been killed, while the US military remains tight-lipped about the full extent of the campaign.
