US strikes Galaxy Leader
Additionally, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Sanaa said that US aircraft carried out three airstrikes on the seized Israeli ship Galaxy Leader.
The vessel was initially detained on November 19, 2023, as part of Yemen's efforts to support Gaza in the war waged by the Israeli occupation. On January 22, Yemeni authorities released the crew of the ship following communication with Hamas and efforts facilitated by Oman.

YAF target Israeli base, vital sites, US warships with UAVs, missiles
The latest US aggression comes a few hours after Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced that the YAF's UAV unit carried out two simultaneous military operations using two drones against Israeli targets.
Saree said that the first drone targeted a vital Israeli site in the occupied city of Yafa (Tel Aviv), while the second struck a vital target in the occupied city of Askalan.
The Yemeni spokesperson indicated that these two operations were in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance amid the US-backed genocide committed by "Israel" in Gaza.
Additionally, Saree announced that the YAF's UAV unit and Navy conducted a joint military operation targeting hostile warships, primarily the American aircraft carrier USS Truman, in the northern Red Sea, using multiple drones.
He said that the operation is part of the YAF's response to the ongoing daily American aggression against Yemen.
Yemen strikes Nevatim airbase with Palestine-2 hypersonic missile
Earlier on Saturday, the YAF announced they carried out a military operation targeting the Nevatim airbase in the al-Naqab region of southern occupied Palestine.
The operation involved the use of a hypersonic Palestine-2 ballistic missile, which successfully struck its target. According to Brigadier General Saree, the missile reached the Nevatim airbase after the Israeli occupation's defense systems failed to intercept it.
In their official statement, the Yemeni Armed Forces emphasized their commitment to resisting the US aggression and highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance their military capabilities. They stressed that defensive and support operations, including attacks like the Nevatim airbase attack, will continue until the aggression on Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted.
Israeli media reported that a missile had been launched from Yemen toward a target in the occupied al-Naqab desert, claiming that the Israeli military had intercepted it.
However, the Yemeni Armed Forces affirmed the success of their Palestine-2 missile strike, contradicting the Israeli occupation's version of events.
