Houthi rebels have shot down a Moroccan war plane which was taking part in Saudi-led coalition air campaign against them, BBC reports.
According to Al-Masirah TV which is controlled by the Houthi rebels, the F-16 was hit as it flew over Saada province, and the station broadcast pictures of what it said was the wreckage.
As an indication of sorts, the Moroccan Royal Armed Forces earlier said one of its planes was missing.
If true, it would be the first coalition aircraft to be shot down since air strikes began on 26th March.
BBC reports that the bombardment has been stepped up in recent days ahead of the start of a proposed 5-day humanitarian ceasefire.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia says its offer of a pause in hostilities from 23:00 (20:00 GMT) on Tuesday to allow aid deliveries is conditional on the Houthis reciprocating, to which the rebels have agreed, but say they will "respond" to any violations.
In a move to restore exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, the 10-nation coalition led by Saudi Arabia launched air strikes against the Houthis and allied army units loyal to Yemen's overthrown former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Since then, over 1,400 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the conflict.
