Houthi group announces downing of warplane in Marib
The Houthi group in Yemen announced on Wednesday that it had shot down an F-15 warplane belonging to the Arab Coalition over Marib Governorate. The group confirmed that the operation was carried out using a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile.
Marib Governorate is considered one of the strategic areas that has witnessed continuous tension in the Yemeni conflict for years. This incident comes in light of ongoing military operations in the region, as each side seeks to strengthen its field positions.
For its part, no official statement has yet been issued by the Arab Coalition command confirming or denying these claims announced by the Houthi group. This news is considered part of the successive field developments witnessed in the Yemeni arena.
International parties continue to monitor the situation in Yemen closely, with repeated calls from the United Nations and the international community for de-escalation and a return to political dialogue to end the long-standing humanitarian and military crisis in the country.
