ABC News published on 23 April 2025 an article titled "Houthis Shoot Down Growing Number of US Drones" by Luis Martinez.
This report quotes a US official as saying there have been about 750 US airstrikes against the Houthis since the beginning of Operation Rough Rider on 15 March. This is a much higher number than other reporting. The Houthis have shot down 6 Reaper drones during the same period and a seventh in early March. Since US engagement against the Houthis began in October 2023, the Houthis have downed at least 15 Reapers.
