Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Ansar Allah movement’s political bureau, affirmed to Al Mayadeen that the presence of American and British forces on Yemeni soil "will provoke the entire Yemeni population," adding that it will unify the people against the aggression.

He reiterated that military operations against the Israeli occupation “will continue until the aggression against the Gaza Strip stops,” stressing that the United States of America, Britain, and “Israel” must stop the aggression for the Yemenis to stop targeting their ships.

Before that, Hussein al-Ezzi, Yemen's Deputy Foreign Minister, stated that the Yemeni Armed Forces possess the ability to, from any launch point on the Yemeni coast, sink enemy ships and warships at any location stretching from the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and the Mediterranean.

Al-Ezzi stressed Sanaa's dedication to peace with limited escalation and advocated for essential adjustments in the US approach towards Yemen and occupied Palestine.

Earlier on Friday, the Yemeni Armed Forces' (YAF) Navy struck a British oil tanker, MARLIN LUANDA, in the Gulf of Aden, setting it ablaze, the spokesperson for the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saraee, said in a televised announcement.

For its part, the US military's Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had carried out a strike on Yemen early this morning on an "anti-ship missile aimed into the Red Sea and which was prepared to launch."
