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.

Tensions reignite in Yemen as Houthi rebels reportedly shoot down a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone over Saada Governorateâjust days after Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal. Dramatic footage circulating on social media appears to show the drone being hit midair and crashing in flames. The strike raises serious questions about the durability of the U.S.-Houthi truce, which Trump claimed was brokered with help from Oman to end attacks on vital Middle East shipping lanes. U.S. officials confirm multiple drone losses in recent months, and this latest downing suggests the Houthis may no longer be holding back.

Houthi REVENGE Begins: Yemen has launched a âPalestine 2â hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, marking a major escalation in regional tensions. The strike, in response to Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, disrupted air traffic and sent thousands into shelters. Yemeni Armed Forces vowed continued support for Gaza and Lebanon, stating attacks will persist until Israel ends its war on Gaza. While Israel claims the missile was intercepted, sirens rang across central Israel and occupied territories. This marks Yemenâs first official missile strike on Israeli infrastructure from afar.

The U.S. military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen is proving costly and largely ineffective. With over $1.5 billion spent on munitions, 30 warships deployedâincluding the USS Eisenhowerâand advanced assets like F-35C jets, Washington faces limited success. Houthi forces, backed by Iran, have launched over 325 attacks and disrupted $1 trillion in trade via asymmetric warfare. As the Red Sea crisis deepens, analysts warn this prolonged conflict may become Americaâs next Vietnam. News that speaks your language â Oneindia App is now live | Click on the below link to download

Yemenâs armed forces launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israelâs Ben Gurion Airport, halting operations and sending civilians into shelters.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described Americaâs widely perceived failure against Yemenâs Houthis as a âtailored operation,â claiming the goal was freedom of navigation and not the protection of Israeli-linked vessels. Notably, Hegseth made no mention of Israel during his statement. Critics argue the Pentagon has rebranded a humiliating military result, after months of failed deterrence against Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's shifting rhetoric has sparked fresh debate over U.S. credibility, especially in light of its deep alliance with Israel.

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?
