Yemeni forces have reportedly fired a surface-to-air missile (SAM) at a US F-16 warplane flying over the Red Sea on February 19.
According to Fox News, another missile targeted an advanced MQ-9 Reaper drone.
The attack follows months of Yemeni operations against US and Israeli targets in response to the Gaza war.
While the Pentagon claims the missiles missed, Yemen has successfully downed multiple US drones before.
This marks an escalation in tensions, as Yemen vows to defend its sovereignty against continued Western airstrikes.
