Air defenses of the Yemeni joint forces announced , Sunday, shooting down an aircraft belonging to their enemy army over  Hajjah province on Sunday.

A military source said that the air defenses shot down a reconnaissance plane belonging to the Saudi army while conducting an espionage tour over al-Nar mountain in the border department of Haradh.

In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and a coalition of its regional allies — mainly the united Arab Emirates and Jordan — started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people later, the war has yielded little to that effect.
