The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced that Yemen's missile and naval forces carried out three operations targeting three ships in the Gulf of Aden, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea. 

In the Gulf of Aden, two Israeli vessels, MSC GINA and MSC DEGO, were targeted in a joint operation between the naval and missile forces, using a number of ballistic missiles and drones, achieving direct hits. 

The Yemeni Armed Forces' Missile Force also carried out two operations targeting the MSC VITTORIA in the Indian Ocean initially, then in the Arabian Sea, confirming a direct hit. 

Saree stated that these operations came to champion the Palestinian Resistance in solidarity with the people of Palestine and in response to the US-UK aggression against Yemen.

He further affirmed the continued commitment of the Yemeni Armed Forces to counter Israeli maritime activity in the region of operations, until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.

YAF announce a new stage in escalations

Last week, the YAF's spokesperson announced a new stage in escalations that involves the targeting of ships heading to Israeli ports from the Mediterranean Sea.

"We announce the implementation of the fourth phase of escalation by targeting ships moving towards occupied Palestinian ports," Saree said.

Saree outlined three measures; targeting violating ships, immediate implementation, and imposing sanctions on ships related to supplying occupied Palestinian ports if "Israel" invades Rafah. 

"First, the targeting of all ships that violate the ban decision of Israeli navigation and that heading to the ports of occupied Palestine from the Mediterranean Sea in any reachable area within our ample zone. Second, implementation of this comes into effect immediately and from the moment this statement is announced," Saree said in a statement.

The spokesman noted that the Yemeni Resistance will carry out attacks against ships heading towards Israeli ports. 

"Third, if the Israeli enemy intends to launch an aggressive military operation against Rafah, the Yemeni Armed forces will impose comprehensive sanctions on all ships and companies that are related to supplying and entering the occupied Palestinian ports of any nationality and will prevent all ships of these companies from passing through the armed forces’ operation zone, regardless of their destination," he added.
