Another U.S. military MQ-9 Reaper drone went down in Yemen, images online purported to show Wednesday, as Yemen's Houthi rebels continued attacks on shipping around the Red Sea over the Israel-Hamas war. It wasn't immediately clear what brought down the drone, but the U.S. military's Central Command acknowledged seeing “reports” of the aircraft being downed in a desert region of Yemen's central Marib province. It marked potentially the third such downing this month alone.
drones previously brought down there, in part because the region remains crucial for the outcome of Yemen's yearslong war. Since Yemen’s civil war started in 2014, when the Houthis seized most of the country’s north and its capital of Sanaa, the U.S. military has lost at least five drones to the rebels. This month alone, there's been two others suspected shootdowns of Reapers that the American military hasn't confirmed. Reapers cost around $30 million apiece.
