Yemeni Air Defense spokesman Yahya Sari said the Yemeni air defense had shot down a Saudi Air Force spy drone in the town of Harz in Hajjah province.
He added that the drone was made in China and was of the "CHF" type (CH4) and was shot down by a surface-to-air missile while carrying out hostile actions.
According to Yemeni media reports, fierce clashes continue between Sanaa forces and Saudi coalition forces and their allied groups in the border areas between Hajjah province (northwestern Yemen) and the southern border of Saudi Arabia, killing or wounding dozens of forces on both sides.
Earlier this week, the Saudi Ministry of Defense announced in a statement:
In a landmark development, for the first time in seven years, the Saudi Ministry of Defense has sent two military brigades deep into Yemeni territory to participate in large-scale military operations to "liberate" the provinces of Saada and Hajjah alongside the army of the resigned Yemeni government.
