The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) carried out two operations, one targeting an Israeli-occupied city and the other targeting a US vessel on the Red Sea.
In detail, the YAF carried out a top-tier military operation against significant targets in Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat] with a number of ballistic missiles, achieving its declared goals successfully, the Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced on Sunday.
His televised statement came in light of an Israeli air aggression that targeted the civilian Hodeidah port and a power station in the city, resulting in dozens of Yemeni casualties and massive fires.
Saree detailed that the YAF also targeted the US ship "Pumba" in the Red Sea with a number of ballistic missiles and drones, impacting it directly.
The YAF Spokesperson affirmed YAF's full right to defend the country against American-British aggression, as well as against Israeli aggression.
Furthermore, Saree vowed that a response to the Israeli aggression against Yemen, which has resulted in 90 casualties, is inevitable and will be massive.
In detail, as per the Ministry of Health, three were killed and 87 others were wounded, many with severe burns, in the attack.
The Brigadier General concluded by expressing confidence that "the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the previously designated naval operational area against Israeli, American, and British ships, or those heading to ports in occupied Palestine, or dealing with the Israeli entity, will not cease until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted."
Yemen confirms advanced coordination with Axis of Resistance: Exclusive
Earlier today, a Yemeni source informed Al Mayadeen that the Israeli occupation is expected to "lie and obscure" information regarding the Yemeni Armed Forces' operations.
The source advised the public to "await their statements," which will detail each operation, whether targeting deep within Israeli territory or involving other naval actions.
They also emphasized that the Yemenis are very patient, confirming that the military operations will "continue over the coming days and months" if the Israeli aggression on Gaza does not cease.
The same source stressed that coordination between Yemen, the Resistance in Gaza, and the broader Axis of Resistance is ongoing and has reached advanced levels.
Saree to 'Israel': Yemen is with Gaza no matter the cost, wait for us
Saree said, on Saturday, that the Yemeni Armed Forces reiterate that occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv) is an unsafe zone and that a response to the Israeli aggression on civilian facilities in the Yemeni coastal province of Hodeidah is undoubtedly coming.
Saree emphasized that the armed forces "will not hesitate" to strike vital Israeli targets in the Israeli entity and that operations in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza will not stop regardless of the consequences.
The Yemeni people "are preparing for a long war with this enemy [Israel] until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted and the crimes committed by the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people in Gaza are over."
Saree's remarks came shortly after Israeli war jets launched a series of airstrikes targeting Yemen's province of Hodeidah on the Red Sea coast.
The aggression targeted an oil refinery, leading to a massive fire that can be seen kilometers away.
At the time, the Yemeni Ministry of Health reported martyrs and wounded as a result of the aggression, confirming that civilians suffered severe burns due to the fires.
Civil defense teams were battling to extinguish the fires and flames engulfing the targeted zone, our correspondent added, noting that the size of the blaze is making the task extremely difficult.
