The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Monday that they carried out a military operation targeting the vessel Magic Seas in the Red Sea.

Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree mentioned that the operation involved two unmanned boats, five ballistic and cruise missiles, and three drones.

According to Saree, the operation dealt a direct hit to the ship, putting it at risk of sinking. He later stated that Magic Seas has completely sunk into the depths of the sea.

The vessel's crew had been allowed to safely abandon it, the spokesperson said, noting that the strike followed repeated warnings and alerts issued by Yemeni naval forces to the vessel, which the crew reportedly ignored.

Saree underscored that the YAF will not hesitate to use "appropriate force" to prevent any ship operated by this company, which is known to have cooperated with "Israel" and violated the ban on entering occupied Palestinian ports, from continuing its operations.

He further emphasized that the company “must bear full responsibility” and that “its ships remain legitimate targets wherever they come within our reach."

The spokesperson concluded by affirming that the YAF will continue its military operations against Israeli targets deep within the occupied Palestinian territories.

Yesterday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that a commercial vessel was engaged by multiple small boats 51 nautical miles southwest of Yemen's Hodeidah.

According to the advisory, the small vessels opened fire using small arms and self-propelled grenades, prompting the vessel's onboard armed security team to return fire.

Ambrey's assessment said that the targeted vessel in the attack "meets the criteria outlined" by Ansar Allah for the ban imposed on Israeli-affiliated ships, adding that four unmanned maritime units attacked the vessel.

Moreover, the assessment indicated that two USVs collided with the vessel’s port side, causing damage to its cargo.

YAF target 'Israel's' main airport with hypersonic ballistic missile 

On Sunday, Saree confirmed that the YAF's Rocket Force targeted al-Lydd Airport, also known as Ben Gurion Airport, located in the occupied Yafa region (Tel Aviv), with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile.

The operation successfully achieved its objective, causing air traffic to come to a halt and millions of Israeli settlers to flee to shelters, according to Saree.

The spokesperson added that the operation was in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their Resistance fighters, and in response to the ongoing genocide committed by "Israel" in the Gaza Strip.

Saree confirms special operation; 11 strikes targeted 'Israel'

A couple of hours later, at least 20 Israeli airstrikes struck the city of Hodeidah in Yemen early Monday, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported, while Yemeni air defenses managed to repel a significant portion of the assault.

The attacks targeted key locations including the ports of Hodeidah, Salif, and Ras Issa, as well as the Ras Qatif power station. Israeli media confirmed that these infrastructures had been hit by Israeli occupation forces on three previous occasions.

Saree said that Yemeni air defenses successfully intercepted and repelled an Israeli aerial assault targeting several areas across Yemen.

According to Saree, both the interception and subsequent retaliatory operation came in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza and in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

High-precision strikes target Israeli military and infrastructure sites

The spokesperson explained that the YAF launched a coordinated missile and drone strike on several Israeli targets, noting that the operation involved 11 ballistic missiles and drones, which the military described as high-precision and successful. 

Saree stated that a Yemeni Palestine-2 hypersonic missile targeted the al-Lydd Airport, also known as Ben Gurion Airport, in the occupied Yafa region (Tel Aviv), while additional hypersonic missiles struck Idud Port and the power station in occupied Askalan.

He added that eight drones were deployed to strike Umm al-Rashrash Port (Eilat). According to Saree, all missiles and drones achieved their objective successfully, with Israeli interception systems failing to neutralize any of the incoming strikes.
