US' 20th Reaper Fall: Houthis Turn $30 Million US Drone to Ashes; Chilling Moment the Drone Falls
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 Thursdayās 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.
In a dramatic escalation, Iran-backed Houthi rebels have threatened to bomb Israelās strategic Haifa port, days after announcing an air blockade on Ben Gurion Airport. The group has now declared a maritime blockade on Haifa, raising alarms over Israelās northern security and Red Sea shipping routes. The move signals a broader regional push by the Houthis, intensifying Middle East tensions and drawing international attention to the growing threat from Yemen-based fighters.

The latest strike marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the Houthis and Israel. Watch the footage of this tense standoff and the immediate aftermath as both sides continue to raise the stakes.

The strike comes amid Israelās ongoing confrontations with Hezbollah on its northern front and follows escalating rhetoric against Houthi leadership for their continued attacks in solidarity with Gaza.

Tensions reignite in Yemen as Houthi rebels reportedly shoot down a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone over Saada Governorateājust 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.
