The U.S. military did not immediately acknowledge losing any aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claimed attack comes as the one-year anniversary of <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/israel-hamas-war\" target=\"_blank\">the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip<\/a> approaches. The Houthis have targeted ships traveling through the Red Sea over the war as U.S.-led airstrikes pound their positions in Yemen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2024\/06\/16\/navy-faces-most-intense-running-sea-battle-since-wwii-with-houthis\/\" target=\"_blank\">That\u2019s imperiled a waterway<\/a> that typically sees $1 trillion of trade pass through it, as well as crucial shipments of aid to war-torn Sudan and Yemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Houthis also continue to launch missiles targeting Israel, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-lebanon-hezbollah-gaza-09-29-2024-4696e581e28d8c747f017221f2cf420f\" target=\"_blank\">drawing retaliatory airstrikes from the Israelis this weekend<\/a> on the port city of Hodeida.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2024\/02\/12\/all-the-houthi-us-navy-incidents-in-the-middle-east-that-we-know-of\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8198875.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">All the Houthi-US Navy incidents in the Middle East (that we know of)<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">A non-exhaustive, running list of Houthi attacks in the Middle East and the U.S. strikes back at them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Houthi-run broadcaster Al-Masirah claimed shooting down the MQ-9, hours after video footage circulated online showing the purported missile striking the aircraft over Yemen&#8217;s Saada province. A single image online also appeared to show wreckage of the drone, with pieces resembling that of an MQ-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. military did not respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Atomics Reapers, which cost around $30 million apiece, can fly at altitudes up to 50,000 feet and have an endurance of up to 24 hours before needing to land. The aircraft have been flown by both the U.S. military and the CIA over Yemen for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Houthis seized the country\u2019s north and its capital of Sanaa in 2014, the U.S. military has seen Reapers shot down in Yemen in 2017, 2019, 2023 and 2024. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2024\/09\/16\/houthi-rebels-claim-they-shot-down-another-us-mq-9-reaper-drone\/\" target=\"_blank\">The U.S. military acknowledged the Houthis shot down two MQ-9s in September<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Houthis have targeted more than 80 merchant vessels with missiles and drones since the war in Gaza started in October. They <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-palestinians-red-sea-ship-yemen-houthis-65b611ff878a411900037e7c9a8ee17b\" target=\"_blank\">seized one vessel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2024\/06\/16\/us-military-targets-houthi-radar-sites-in-yemen\/\" target=\"_blank\">sank two in the campaign<\/a> that has also killed four sailors. Other missiles and drones have either been intercepted by a U.S.-led coalition in the Red Sea or failed to reach their targets, which have included Western military vessels as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rebels maintain that they target ships linked to Israel, the U.S. or the United Kingdom to force an end to Israel\u2019s campaign against Hamas in Gaza. However, many of the ships attacked have little or no connection to the conflict, including some bound for Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those attacks include a barrage that struck the Greek-flagged oil tanker Sounion in the Red Sea. Salvagers have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2024\/08\/21\/greek-tanker-drifting-ablaze-after-suspected-houthi-attacks-in-red-sea\/\" target=\"_blank\">towed away the burning oil tanker<\/a>, hoping to avoid a catastrophic leak of its 1 million barrels of oil on board. Firefighting efforts onboard the Sounion began last week and \u201cthe operation has proceeded with promising results as some fires are extinguished and other under control,\u201d the Joint Maritime Information Center reported Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The center, overseen by the U.S. Navy, also acknowledged the last attack on a merchant ship by the Houthis came on Sept. 2, but the rebels remain a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDespite a drop in attacks against merchant vessels over the last two weeks, the Houthis have shown ability and willingness to target U.S. Navy assets and coalition partners,\u201d the center said. The Houthis claimed an attack targeted American warships last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The attack comes as the one-year anniversary of the Israel-Hamas war in the
