Houthis claim they shot down a Saudi F-15 over Marib

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said forces shot down a Saudi F-15 over Marib governorate with a 'locally manufactured surface-to-air missile'; local sources told Al Jazeera it came down near Mount Helan. The Saudi-led coalition did not immediately comment.

Why this matters. If confirmed, losing a frontline jet would dent the air campaign Riyadh relies on to halt the Houthi advance.
