SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Tribesmen shot down a Yemeni government warplane that was bombing their positions north of the capital Wednesday, military officials said.
A Defense Ministry official confirmed the downing of the plane in the district of Arhab, north of Sanaa, but gave no further details. The official told the state news agency that anti-government groups were behind the shooting. Tribesmen overran a military base belonging to Yemen’s elite Republican Guards earlier this week in the area where the aircraft was shot down.
