Yemen’s Houthis Claim Downing of Saudi F-15 Fighter Jet over Marib

Yemen’s Houthi movement says it shot down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet over Marib province with a locally made surface-to-air missile. The claim was carried by Houthi-run media, which said the aircraft was conducting operations supporting Saudi military deployments. The group also claimed that Saudi aircraft later searched for the wreckage and that additional missiles forced two combat formations to withdraw. Saudi authorities have not publicly confirmed the alleged loss, making the claim difficult to independently verify at this stage.
