"Yemeni Forces Shoot Down US Military Drone"

A US military MQ-9 drone was shot down near Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi militants, marking the second such incident in recent months. The Houthis have been carrying out repeated drone and missile strikes in the region, prompting responses from US and British forces. The US officials confirmed the drone's downing and the Houthi claim, while the militants also attacked a cargo vessel in the Gulf of Aden. Despite Western attacks, the Houthis have vowed to continue targeting ships until attacks on Palestinians in Gaza cease.
