The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Yahya Saree, announced that the naval forces targeted a British oil vessel in the Red Sea. He confirmed that the targeting was carried out with several suitable naval missiles, achieving a direct hit.
The Yemeni armed forces also successfully shot down an American MQ9 drone above Saada Governorate using an appropriate missile, while engaging in hostile missions.
Earlier today, the British Maritime Trading Organization reported that missiles struck a vessel off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea.
UMKTO underlined that two attacks took place. "The first attack, the vessel experienced an explosion in close proximity to the vessel, which was felt by the crew on board," the organization reported.
"Subsequently, the second attack on the vessel consisted of what is believed to be two missiles, which resulted in damage to the vessel," it added.
YAF's ongoing operations in solidarity with Palestine
About two weeks ago, Saree announced that the Yemeni Armed Forces executed four operations in the Gulf of Aden as a response to ongoing aggression against the Yemeni people and in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The Yemeni armed forces on the first day of Eid al-Fitr targeted several vessels, including ones belonging to the Israeli occupation and the United States.
The naval forces "successfully, with the help of God Almighty, executed the operations, aiming at disrupting maritime activities in the region and sending a clear message to the aggressors."
Two Israeli vessels, identified as the MSC DARWIN and the MSC GINA, bore the brunt of the Yemeni strikes, indicating a deliberate targeting of vessels linked to Israeli interests. Additionally, the American ship MAERSK YORKTOWN found itself under fire in the Gulf of Aden after clear warnings against such vessels crossing through the body of water.
Further intensifying their actions, Yemeni forces engaged a US warship in the Gulf of Aden deploying several drones in the operation. The Yemeni Armed Forces disclosed that the vessels were targeted utilizing a combination of naval missiles and drones.
