Yemen's Houthi militia claimed to have shot down another American MQ-9 Reaper drone, as the US continues its airstrikes targeting the group. President Trump warned the Houthis and Iran, their main benefactor, that the strikes will continue until they stop shooting at US ships. The Houthis claimed to have downed the drone in Marib governorate, and footage on social media showed flames in the night. The US military acknowledged the reports but declined to comment further. The new campaign of airstrikes under Trump appears more extensive than those under Biden, targeting ranking personnel and dropping bombs in cities.
