Houthi forces operating near the Yemen-Saudia Arabia border adjacent to the Red Sea downed a United Arab Emirates recon aircraft on Thursday, al-Masdar News reported.
A media arm for the Houthi forces said that its rocket battalion shot down a UAE aircraft off the coast of Saudi Arabia's Jizan Region, according to al-Masdar News.
Anti-aircraft missiles struck the plane and killed the crew on the aircraft, AMN noted, citing Houthi forces.
The UAE Air Force has two types of reconnaissance aircraft in its inventory, the Canadian-made Bombardier Dash 8 and the CASA/IPTN CN-235, which is jointly produced Construcciones Aeronauticas of Spain and Indonesian Aerospace. It is not clear which type of aircraft the Houthis reportedly destroyed.
