Earlier today, Spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that the Yemeni naval forces executed a top-tier military operation today against two ships with connections to the Israeli occupation. 

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.

He affirmed that the targeting of the two ships came after the crew of the two ships refused to respond to the calls of the Yemeni naval forces.

The Yemeni forces reiterated their commitment to the security of global maritime traffic. 

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.
