Saree revealed in a statement that Swan Atlantic, an oil tanker, and MSC Clara, a ship carrying cargo containers, were targeted by two naval drones.

Saree emphasized that the Yemeni Naval Forces will only target ships headed to Israeli ports. He assured all ships commuting to any port in the world that they would not be harmed, and called on them to keep their transponders open.

Saree also emphasized that the Yemeni forces will not hesitate to target ships that violate the conditions stated in the previous statements noting that the Yemeni naval forces are committed to preventing ships headed to Israeli ports from navigating via the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea.

The statement emphasized that the operation comes in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza, who have been subjected to killing, destruction, and siege for 73 days, and in response to the calls of the free people of the Yemeni nation and the Arab Umma.
