The Houthis have released new footage which appears to confirm the earlier Saudi F-15 jet shootdown, with aircraft falling in the Marib area. The footage shows militants celebrating near the wreckage.
Below is the clip as released by Ansar Allah officials, which has since been given confirmation by some foreign and international outlets. It suggests that the Houthis have locally-made ability to down advanced aircraft, which should seriously worry Riyadh and Washington.

According to the latest on the fighting in Yemen, clashes are intensifying:
Yemen’s pro-government Southern Giants Forces say that they are engaged in clashes with Houthi forces on the Kahboub front near the Bab al-Mandeb strait.
The government-aligned forces claim in a social media post that they have inflicted heavy personnel and equipment losses on the Houthi forces.

Yemen’s Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement has claimed to have shot down a Saudi fighter jet in a Wednesday statement, saying they utilized domestic made munitions to do it.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces, with Allah’s aid and grace, succeeded in shooting down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet while it was carrying out hostile operations,” Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree announced.
He said the fighter jet had been targeted “using a locally made” missile over Marib – after the Saudi coalition has launched some 450 strikes. The area of the alleged downing is some 75 miles east of Sanaa.
Saudi authorities have not acknowledged any shootdown and have not immediately commented on the claim.
Overnight, the big news out of the conflict focused on Saudi claims that it had intercepted a Houthi drone targeting Yemen in a “heinous” act targeting Islam’s holiest site.
However, the Houthis are vehemently denying sending a drone on Mecca. “Our operations target its oil facilities and military bases, which are far removed from the sacred sites,” Saree said further.
The Houthi military spokesman called out the “fabrications and lies propagated by the criminal al-Saud regime cannot deceive anyone.”
Missile alerts had been issued for the population of Mecca, and plenty of old and fake social media videos purported to capture footage of a drone inbound on Mecca, but so far no clear evidence has emerged of the alleged targeting.
But the Saudi claims were enough to get Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to condemn Wednesday “in the strongest possible terms the dastardly and heinous” the alleged attack on Mecca.
“The people of Pakistan are saddened and perturbed by this outrageous act,” he said on X.

Pakistan and Turkey just recently this summer signed a comprehensive “Mecca Defense Pact”, and the Saudi claims that Mecca was targeted by drone are perhaps intended to secure the help of allies in dealing with the advancing Houthis menace while a Red Sea ‘siege for siege’ policy is still in effect. As for the lates developments to emerge Wednesday, via Newsquawk:
Houthis say they carried out two military operations, targeting Saudi Aramco in Yanbu with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones and Khamis Mushait Air Base with a number of ballistic missiles.
The damaged Saudi East-West pipeline could still take five to six weeks to come back online, according to some estimates.
my blessings to the Houthis ! get them coward pilots
bombing children + civilians + have nice day .
and if they parachute CUT THEIR THROADS !
they earned it .
NEWS FROM THE TRENCHES

Israel threatens to ‘act against Britain’ if illegal West Bank settlements are sanctioned by UK
there is also huge anger here about the genocides
The Israeli government has revealed it would respond if UK goes ahead with imposing sanctions on illegal settlements being constructed on the Palestinian West Bank
Israel has warned it will retaliate if the government imposes fresh sanctions on its illegal developments in Palestine as part of the Government’s relations “reset”.
Foreign Secretary Ed Milliband told the House of Commons on Tuesday that Burnham’s Government would be pursuing a “comprehensive reset” with the state “in the coming weeks”. He said the decision was based on the Netanyahu government’s continued pursuit of settlement expansion in the Palestinian West Bank, a practice deemed illegal by the United Nations and international community at large
Milliband’s Israeli counterpart has reacted furiously to the proposal to examine how British companies have helped to contribute to “financing, constructing or advertising the new settlements”.
Dr David Cohen said israel will relax its efforts to reclaim the land held by Turkey and concentrate on possible war with the UK
first step would be for Rothschild to cripple us financially like it did to Germany
which caused ww 2
Experts say this trouble could escalate, millions of those expelled from the occupied territories are here in the UK and Ireland, they would not go to war with Russia but they would with israel for its horrendous crimes,
Our Foreign secretary oversees MI6 and all operations abroad
the last person who should be in this job in the UK is the jew Ed Miliband
“which has since been given confirmation by some foreign and international outlets”
LOL. “Outlets” = baiters. It might be true, but baiters quoting baiters is laughable.
Piddington campaigners hope Home Office ‘blunder’ may halt plans for asylum camp after voting to leave UK
Story by Anders Anglesey •
Campaigners in Piddington hope an apparent Home Office blunder could halt plans for a proposed asylum camp near the village
that voted to leave the UK.
If it works this will be rolled out all over the UK
the people are sick of government racism
There are many protected wildlife species located on and around the ex-military site close to the Oxfordshire village that has been proposed as the location to house some 1,250 asylum seekers. An ecological assessment of the area carried out by the Home Office as part of the application said there was no evidence of protected newts, bats or reptiles that could halt the site from going ahead.
women and children in danger dont count However, campaigners have reportedly uncovered records which they say have revealed numerous protected wildlife species in the area. Campaigners said the findings could lead to legal challenges that could prevent the camp from opening – should a government body fail to revise its findings and brings in new protective measures, including a new habitat for any newts.it would be easier to find a new habitat for the migrants, like back home
New IRA activists plan to drive migrants out of Ireland with campaign of violence
Patrick Mc Gee has been teaching bomb making to those in England who will resist government hate and racism
Republicans are plotting a campaign of violence to force migrants out of Ireland, intelligence officials have told The Mail on Sunday.
In Piddington where the plan is to dump 1250 migrants, the fight back will be the bombing of government buildings and the homes of Traitor MPs
The plan by the New IRA – the successor organisation to the Real IRA – comes in the wake of the disturbances on the streets of Northern Ireland in June following the stabbing of Stephen Ogilvie, allegedly by Hadi Alodid, a 30-year-old Sudanese asylum-seeker.
Security sources say that the dissident republicans, who continue to fight for a ‘united Ireland’, are feeding off local community tensions on both sides of the border over a spike in cases of harassment, sexual assault and violence, which has been done by migrants.

Israeli settlers, some armed from a new consignment from America, celebrate a new synagogue built in the occupied West Bank, in photos
Story by Ohad Zwigenberg •
Israeli settlers, some carrying rifles, sang, danced and carried Torah scrolls as they inaugurated a synagogue at the new jewish settlement of Homesh. For those attending the event Wednesday, it was a celebration. For Palestinians living nearby, the armed settlers taking the site carried a very different meaning.
Homesh lies deep in the northern occupied West Bank, near the Palestinian village of Burqa. Israel dismantled the palestinian settlement in 2005 but formally approved its establishment las jewish last year, allowing settlers to live there and connect to Israel’s water and electricity networks. Palestinian residents of Burqa say the settlement restricts access to privately owned farmland around the site. Israel’s Supreme Court had to acknowledge that land at the original settlement belonged to Palestinians from the village.
Homesh is part of a broader expansion of Israeli settlements and outposts that has further restricted Palestinian movement and access to land. The expansion has also coincided with a sharp rise in settler attacks against Palestinians and their property. Rights groups say such violence is rarely prosecutedThe international community considers all Israeli settlements in The occupied West Bank is illegal under international law. Israel disputes this, citing security concerns and fakes religious ties to the territory.

The award-winning documentary “NAZA” featuring anonymous military sources speaking about Israel’s mass killing of civilians in Gaza has sparked a political firestorm in Israel. The film’s directors and their families have received a wave of threats, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a plan for a bill aimed at revoking the citizenship of people who “defame IDF soldiers”.
On a street in southern Israel, a graffiti artist paints a mural depicting the filmmakers behind the award-winning documentary “NAZA”. But this is not a tribute.
Red targets are painted next to the two Israeli directors, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, whose faces are branded with the word “TRAITORS”.
A month ahead of close-fought elections, the documentary, which uses anonymous military sources to speak about Israel’s widespread killing of civilians in Gaza and the occupied territories, has unleashed a political storm.
An ensuing wave of threats and intimidation has targeted the film’s creators and their families.
