Yemen downs F-18, target USS Truman thwarting attack on Sanaa
english.almayadeen.net
The Yemeni Armed Forces successfully thwarted an American-British attack on the country, shooting down an F-18, forcing the USS Harry Truman to withdraw, and warning of further action to defend Yemen and support Palestine.

EDIT: Another interpretation of the statement suggests they take responsibility for the event by proxy of deterring said aircraft which was then targeted by friendly air defences.

EDIT II: Prev. statements by Houthis suggest they had formulated new tactics to tail fighter craft with drones/missiles a while back so probably more likely that had something to do with it.

Ansarollah have historically followed up with evidence of such claims against UAE/Saudi aircraft of the same generation. They definitely have the capability, but no hard evidence yet.

    Houthis

    They're officially known as Ansar Allah. Hard agree on the 5D chess story being funnier. Ansar Allah used drone swarm. USA is confused. USA used anti-air missile. USA hurt itself in confusion.
