Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for shooting down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, despite ongoing intense US airstrikes targeting the group. The US acknowledged the reports but offered no comment. President Trump warned both the Houthis and Iran, stating the US strikes will continue until the Houthis cease threatening shipping. The increased US airstrikes, initiated in March, target Houthi personnel and infrastructure, escalating the conflict. The Houthis claim to have shot down numerous US drones over the years.
