The warplane was hit at 6 pm local time, according to Maghreb Arab Press (MAP).
It is unclear whether the pilot has ejected himself form the jet.
A pilot of the same squadron could not confirm if the pilot ejected himself from the warplane, the communique added, according to MAP. An investigation is underway, the same source added.
Morocco is among the countries participating in the military campaign against the Houthi rebels, a Shia group supported by Iran.
Since the first day of the bombardment, which started on March 26, Rabat was among the first countries to express its solidarity with Saudi Arabia.
