Houthis claim to shoot down US MQ-9 Reaper drone in Red Sea

Fox News senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane joins'Fox Report' to discuss strikes in Yemen, Iraq and Syria by the U.S. and U.K forces. Two U.S. officials have confirmed to Fox News that an Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone crashed near Yemen after Houthi rebels claimed to have shot down an American aircraft. "We can confirm that a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 crashed off the coast of Hodeidah, Yemen, and are investigating the cause," a U.S. official told Fox News. The officials stressed that it was unclear if the Houthis were involved. If they are, it would be the second time since November 2023 that the Iranian-backed militant group has taken out a Reaper drone, which has a wingspan of 66 feet and costs about 32 million.
