Iranian-backed Houthis claim responsibility for US reaper drone crash off Yemen coast
Iranian-backed Houthis rebels have claimed responsibility for a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone crash off the coast of Yemen on Thursday, Fox News confirmed on Friday. Thursday's crash is the fourth remotely piloted drone brought down by Iranian-proxy groups since November, costing the U.S. government upwards of 120 million. It is also the third time Houthi rebels have brought down a U.S. MQ-9 drone. Remotely piloted MQ-9 Reaper drones cost around 30 million each. Last fall, the Houthis released video of a reaper drone the rebels shot down on Nov. 8, one day after Hamas' unprovoked attack on Israel.
