Air defenses shoot down coalition’s CH4 drone plane in Sanaa

SANAA, May 23 (YPA) – The Yemeni army’s air defences on Monday night shot down a spy aircraft belonging to the Saudi-led coalition forces in the airspace of Sanaa province, northern Yemen.

“Our Air Defences shot down a Chinese-made CH4 spy drone plane belonging to the Saudi-led forces , while carrying out hostile acts over the airspace of the capital Sana’a,” the Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said in a statement.

The plane was hit with a locally-made surface-to-air missile, he added.

On Saturday, the Yemeni air defenses shot down a Turkish-made Karayel spy drone operated by Saudi Air forces, while it was violating the UN-sponsored truce with hostile actions this morning in the airspace of Hayran district, Hajjah Governorate.
