Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed to have shot down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet. On September 16, Houthi military media released a video showing armed Houthi fighters standing near the wreckage of a destroyed aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement accompanying the video, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree stated that Houthi forces had targeted and destroyed a Saudi Air Force F-15 jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, independent sources have been unable to verify the location of the video or determine when it was filmed. According to available information, no earlier version of the video was found online prior to September 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft shown in the video is severely damaged, making it impossible to immediately identify its specific model. Nevertheless, the Saudi national flag is clearly visible on the aircraft’s tail section, suggesting it belongs to the Saudi Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appearance, structure, and burn marks on the wreckage remain consistent across various scenes in the video, indicating that all the footage depicts the remains of the same aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi authorities have not yet issued an official response to the Houthi claim, and independent verification regarding the destruction of the aircraft and the circumstances surrounding the incident has not yet been possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
