The Yemeni Army, backed by the popular committees downed a hostile warplane in Saada province.

Yemeni news agency, Sabaa, quoted field sources as saying that the Yemeni soldiers and fighters targeted the warplane which was destroyed over Ghamr area in Saada province.

The search for the crew of the place was going on, the sources said.

Yemen has been since March 26 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition. Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to fugitive president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi who is a close ally to Saudi Arabia.

However, Yemeni army, backed by popular committees and tribal fighter has been responding to the aggression by targeting several Saudi border military posts and cleansing several areas across the country, especially the country’s south, from Hadi and al-Qaeda-linked militias.
