The drone was destroyed between March 31 and April 22 as Houthis stepped up efforts to target U.S. aircraft operating in Yemen, according to defense officials.
Three of the drones have been lost in the past week alone, indicating that Hotis’ ability to hit high-altitude aircraft has improved.

Since March 15, dozens of civilians have been killed in parts of Hotty-controlled in Yemen after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a daily strike against the group.
Central Command spokesman Dave Eastburn said Thursday that U.S. troops have attacked more than 800 targets, destroyed command centers, weapons warehouses and air defenses, and killed hundreds of Houthi fighters and leaders. This claim cannot be verified independently.
