The Pentagon has confirmed that Houthi rebels in Yemen have shot down a United States-owned reaper drone. The worst part about this news is how the U.S. is going to retaliate to push this war to all new extremes.
According to a report by Stars and Stripes, the U.S. military officials believe the MQ-9 Reaper drone was shot down by a Houthi surface-to-air missile before it crashed into the Red Sea, Sabrina Singh, a Pentagon spokeswoman, told reporters Tuesday. The drone had not yet been recovered, she said. The drone was an American intelligence-gathering machine operating off Yemen’s coast on Monday, Singh confirmed.
