A first-person post by @Yah_Saree, whose bio describes it as an alternate account of Brigadier Yahya Saree, says “our armed forces” targeted a Saudi Typhoon that took off from Taif Air Base with a surface-to-air missile over Saada. It claims a direct hit and that the aircraft was at risk of crashing. Dimitri Lascaris separately reports that Ansar Allah released a video claiming a successful surface-to-air-missile strike on a Saudi Typhoon over Saada; he says the aircraft was reportedly taken out. Neither post establishes a crash or pilot outcome, and the date of the strike remains unknown.

The Arabic claim is from @Yah_Saree, whose profile bio says it is an alternate account of Brigadier Yahya Saree; the profile was not independently verified as an official channel. The post says the aircraft was at risk of crashing; no crash, pilot outcome or independent confirmation was found. Dimitri Lascaris reports a video release by Ansar Allah but provides no primary group-channel permalink; the attached X video was not opened or viewed. The strike claim remains unverified.
