The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) targeted the Israeli ship MSC DARWIN in the Gulf of Aden with several missiles and drones, the spokesperson for the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Thursday night, adding that the operation has achieved its objectives successfully.

In a statement, Saree also confirmed that the YAF's missile forces launched a number of ballistic and cruise missiles at Israeli targets in occupied Umm Al-Rashrash [Eilat], south of occupied Palestine.

Elsewhere, the spokesperson affirmed that the YAF would continue to support the Palestinian people by enforcing a blockade on Israeli navigation in the Red and the Arabian seas and the Indian Ocean, as well as carry out further military operations against Israeli targets in occupied Palestine until a ceasefire is achieved in Gaza and the siege imposed on the Strip is lifted.

The latest announcement comes shortly after Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi confirmed that the movement is working on reinforcing the country's reach toward the Indian Ocean, seeking to cut off the Israeli-affiliated ships from sailing on the Cape of Good Hope route or toward the Red Sea.

The Yemeni front will remain open and the YAF's operations in support of Palestine will continue, Sayyed al-Houthi stressed during a speech in which he addressed the latest regional developments.

Saree announced Wednesday night a series of YAF operations in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean, targeting Israeli-affiliated ships and American warships in the aforementioned waterways.

The YAF targeted the US-flagged MAERSK YORKTOWN container ship in the Gulf of Aden with several anti-ship missiles, which dealt direct hits to their target. The last updated position of the ship was in the Arabian Sea, 16 hours ago, according to maritime tracking websites. 

The spokesperson for the YAF also announced in his statement that the Yemeni Unmanned Air Force executed two operations, the first targeted a US warship in the Gulf of Aden while the other targeted an Israeli ship in the Pacific Ocean. 

The Israeli ship was identified as the MSC VERACRUZ, which last updated its position nine days ago near South Africa, on the Cape of Good Hope route. The Yemeni Armed Forces had previously pledged to cut off the pre-Suez Canal route for Israeli-affiliated ships. 

Saree underlined that the operations of the Unmanned Air Force achieved their set objectives.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to take further military measures against all hostile targets in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean in defense of dear Yemen and in confirmation of the position of support for the oppressed Palestinian people," Saree emphasized.
