Almotamar.net - SANAA, March 28 - Yemeni Defence Ministry announced today bringing down a foreign drone flying over the south of coasts of Hadramout governorate, east of Yemen. and local media reported that the aircraft was Iranian. The Defence Ministry website quoted an official military source his confirmation that anti-aircraft forces of Yemen were able to shoot down the drone Tuesday after watching it entering the Yemeni airspace.
"Yes, a drone was brought down," a government official told Reuters. He said the drone was downed on Tuesday but declined to give more details about the incident.

Raynews website reported on Tuesday that the drone plane that was downed over the area of Hadrampout governorate belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran but the official source did not disclose its identity.
The site had quoted security sources there as mentioning that the drone plane was carrying out spying tasks over the coast of the Arabian Sea and that the anti-aircraft defences were able to shoot it down about a week ago.

A day after reports on downing the plane the parliament on Wednesday supported a proposal put forward by deputy speaker of parliament Yahya al-Raee on summoning concerned government authorities to clarify the truth of what local media have published on downing a drone plane over Hadramout, claimed to be Iranian that violated the Yemeni space days ago.

That came after the subject was aroused by MP Nabil Basha and his demanding of MPs to seriously stand versus violation of the country’s sovereignty and to be certain about correctness of the published information “so that the media would not be the side running Yemen’s foreign policy.”
