Yemeni rebels of the Houthi movement announced today that they shot down another US-made drone in that country.
The US military has acknowledged the loss of the MQ-9 Reaper drone.
Since a year ago, when the war between Israel and Hamas broke out in the Gaza Strip, the Houthi movement has been attacking ships in the Red Sea from Yemen, and the US and its allies have been targeting their positions.
This threatened the world's waterways, through which goods worth a thousand billion dollars pass annually, and also threatened important shipments of humanitarian aid to war-torn Sudan and Yemen.
The Houthi movement also launches rockets at Israel, prompting retaliatory Israeli airstrikes.
There is a video on the Internet of a Houthi rocket hitting an American aircraft over Yemen's Sada province. A photo of the wreckage of the drone also appeared.
The MQ-9 drones cost about 30 million dollars each and can fly to a height of more than 15.000 meters. The US military and the CIA have been using them over Yemen for years.
