Yemeni armed forces air defenses today shot down an explosive drone launched by Houthi militants toward military positions on the northern front of Marib province.

The Armed Forces Media Center released images documenting the downing of the drone, confirming it belonged to the Houthis as part of ongoing attacks by the group on military positions in the province.

The interception comes amid continued clashes in northern Marib, where government forces are repelling Houthi attempts to advance and target their positions and movements.

Marib’s frontlines have witnessed ongoing military escalation since the launch of Operation “Yemen Dawn” on October 5, with government forces intensifying operations against Houthi positions and movements across several axes.
