The Houthis reported shooting down a US MQ-9 drone in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, the eighth such success since the war began. It was a major blow to US prestige, drawing criticism at home and from allies for failing to protect their forces.
The US lost a drone worth about $32 million, bringing the total to about a quarter of a billion. But the response to the Houthis was not long in coming – the US army carried out three airstrikes on the Houthi-controlled area, but without significant success in reducing their military capabilities.
As a result, the Americans are facing criticism and mixed results regarding their actions in Yemen. The published report shows that the situation remains tense, and may leave unresolved problems for the next administration.
