A U.S. military drone was reportedly shot down over Yemen’s Marib governorate on May 29, according to regional media and videos circulated online. Footage shared by Press TV appeared to capture the moment the drone was hit mid-air before erupting into flames and crashing to the ground. Additional clips showed debris allegedly linked to the downed aircraft scattered across the desert terrain. The incident comes amid rising regional tensions and follows recent Iranian claims that the IRGC downed an American MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Gulf. The latest strike is likely to intensify concerns over the vulnerability of U.S. surveillance and strike drones operating across the Middle East conflict zone.
