Yemeni armed forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced in a recent statement, that Yemen has targeted a ship headed to "Israel" after it ignored warning calls to turn back. 

This operation serves as evidence of the Yemeni Armed Forces' persistence top maintain the blockade against Israeli navigation in the Arabian and Red Seas despite last week's US-UK aggression aimed at deterring them. 

"Triumphing the oppressed Palestinian people [of Gaza] who are subjected to aggression and siege, the naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted the ship Zogravia, which was headed to the ports of occupied Palestine, with several adequate missiles: leaving direct hits," Brigadier General Saree opened up his statement. 

The Yemeni Armed Forces had deliberated on striking the vessel after the crew had repeatedly ignored their calls and warning messages, Saree specified. 

The Yemeni Armed Forces remain steadfast in executing their military operations to block Israeli navigation in the Arab and Red Seas until a ceasefire is achieved in Gaza and the siege on the Palestinian people is lifted, he added. 

"The Yemeni Armed Forces continue to take all defensive and offensive measures within the scope of their legitimate right to defend Yemen and in affirmation of continued practical solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people," Saree ended his statement.

Yemeni Forces strike Greek-owned carrier heading to occupied Palestine

Earlier today, The Telegraph reported that the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted a Greek-owned vessel headed to the ports of occupied Palestine. 

The bulk ship Zogravia was on its way north to the Suez Canal when it was hit, according to the Greek Shipping and Island Policy Ministry.

In November, the Yemeni resistance announced its decision to target all Israeli-linked commercial and military ships transiting the Red Sea, or ships heading to the ports of occupied Palestine. 

They vowed to continue to do so until the genocide on the people of Gaza came to a complete halt.
