Shafaq News..Yemen’s Houthis Claim Downing Saudi F-15 over Marib
The group said it hit the jet with a locally made missile as Saudi Arabia reported intercepting a Houthi drone near Mecca.
- On Wednesday, Houthi forces claimed they shot down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet over Marib using a surface-to-air missile, though Saudi Arabia has not confirmed the loss of the aircraft.
- Separately, the Saudi-led Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen reported destroying a Houthi drone on Tuesday near Mecca, with spokesperson Gen. Turki Al-Malki citing the intercept as a defense against threats to holy sites.
- Military spokesperson Yahya Saree alleged Houthi forces engaged Saudi jets searching for wreckage, forcing them to withdraw, and accused Riyadh of carrying out more than 450 airstrikes this week across Yemeni provinces.
- Houthi officials dismissed Saudi allegations of an attempted Mecca strike as "fabrications and lies," insisting Yemen poses no threat to holy sites, while the group frequently reports air defense engagements.
- The incident underscores the ongoing conflict as Houthi advances raise regional stakes, with military activity spanning from Bab al-Mandeb to Iraq.
