The air force of the Yemeni army announced in a statement Friday that its defense systems managed to down a Saudi fighter jet over Nahm in eastern the capital Sanaa.

The statement added that the military advancement achieved by the Yemeni air force is always ready to surprise the Saudi aggression as long as it continues.

Yemen has been since March 2015 under a brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition. Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been injured and martyred in Saudi-led strikes, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

The coalition has been also imposing a blockade on the impoverished country’s ports and airports as a part of his aggression which is aimed at restoring power to fugitive former president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.

However, the allied forces of the army and the committees have been heroically confronting the aggression with all means.
