Saudi F-15 fighter jet reported downed over Yemen's Marib province

Reports circulated on Wednesday said a Saudi F-15 fighter jet was targeted and shot down over Marib province in Yemen. The accounts did not specify the time of the incident, the circumstances of the engagement, or the fate of the aircraft's crew.

Yemen's army has so far issued no statement on the incident, and Saudi officials have also remained silent. No further details were immediately available, and neither side has confirmed or denied the reported downing.

The report follows repeated Yemeni announcements of air defence engagements against Saudi aircraft and the downing of Saudi drones over Yemeni airspace. Marib province has been the site of sustained military activity during the conflict in Yemen, and previous claims of aircraft losses have similarly been followed by periods of official silence from the parties involved.

Because the claim has not been independently verified and no official confirmation has been issued, the reported downing remains unconfirmed. According to Mehr News, no additional information about the incident was immediately available.
