Senior official in Sanaa comments on US fighter jet downed over Red Sea

SANAA, Dec. 22 (YPA) – Member of the Supreme Political Council in Sanaa, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, commented on Sunday on the downing of a US fighter jet over the Red Sea.

Al-Houthi stated that “the US Central Command will likely not disclose the true reason for the downing, possibly as a tactic to prevent further demoralization of soldiers and avoid increased pressure from naval personnel’s families.”

The US Central Command had previously acknowledged the downing of the advanced F-18 fighter jet over the Red Sea following an attack on Sanaa.

Many have expressed skepticism about the US narrative, which claimed that the aircraft was downed by friendly fire.
