What happened
Yemen's Houthi rebels have released footage they say shows the wreckage of a Saudi F-15 fighter jet, which, if confirmed, would mark the first fighter jet they have shot down. The claim comes as fighting escalates in Yemen, with the Houthis expanding their control around the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait and the UN urging both sides to return to negotiations.
