Yemen's Houthis on Wednesday said that they "succeeded" in shooting down a Saudi fighter jet while it was carrying out "hostile operations". They claimed to have targeted the jet using a locally made air-to-air missile.
"The Yemeni Armed Forces, with Allah's aid and grace, succeeded in shooting down a Saudi F15 fighter jet while it was carrying out hostile operations in support of its military mobilisations in the airspace of Marib province," Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on social media, while accusing Saudi Arabia of launching 450 strikes.
