United States Air Force MQ-9 Reaper Shot down

The US military acknowledged on 18 September 2024 that Yemen's Houthis had shot down two MQ-9 Reapers in under a week, the first of them on 10 September. The Associated Press reported the acknowledgement, which came after the Houthis had claimed a series of Reaper kills during their campaign against shipping in the Red Sea. The circumstances of the 10 September loss were not detailed by the US military. A second Reaper was shot down over Dhamar province six days later.
