SANAA, March 28 (Reuters) - Yemeni forces shot down a foreign drone flying
over the south of the Arab country, government officials said on Wednesday,
and local media reported that the aircraft was Iranian.

"Yes, a drone was brought down," a government official told Reuters. He said
the drone was downed on Tuesday but declined to give more details about the
incident.

The Akhbar al-Yawm daily, which has close links to the government, reported
that the unmanned plane was Iranian.

"Security sources confirmed that the drone that was brought down in Hadramout
belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran," the newspaper said on its front page.
