Iran Press/ Middle East: On his Twitter account, Brigadier General Yahya Saree wrote that the Chinese-made CH4 armed reconnaissance drone belonging to the Saudi Air Force was detected and shot down over Hajjah Province on Wednesday morning, Almasirah TV reported.
He added that the drone was conducting an aggressive operation when a Yemeni-made ground-to-air missile targeted it.
Yemenis had shot down another Saudi UAV in the same area last February.

With the support of the United States, the UAE, and several other countries, Saudi Arabia has launched a military invasion of Yemen since March 2015, putting a land, sea, and air siege on the impoverished country.
Saudi Arabia's warmongering in Yemen has so far killed hundreds of thousands of Yemenis, injured tens of thousands, and displaced millions.
The military aggression has also destroyed more than 85 percent of Yemen's infrastructure, leaving the country severely short of food and medicine.
