Yemen’s Houthis on Wednesday claimed they shot down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet over Marib province using a locally made missile. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the aircraft was carrying out operations in support of Saudi military activity in the area. The group also released footage it said showed the jet being hit and its wreckage. However, the claim has not been independently verified, and Saudi authorities have not confirmed the reported loss of the aircraft. The Houthis also claimed Saudi warplanes had carried out more than 450 strikes across Yemen in the past week. (PC: India Today)
