Houthi rebels in Yemen have shot down seven U.S. Reaper drones in less than six weeks, resulting in a loss of over $200 million for the Pentagon. The drones were being used for attack runs and surveillance. The U.S. has increased its attacks on the Houthis, launching daily strikes since March 15. U.S. senators are raising concerns about civilian casualties caused by the American strikes in Yemen.
