In support of the Palestinian and Lebanese people and their resistance movements, the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced Tuesday that its naval units targeted the ship Anadolu S in the Red Sea with a series of ballistic and naval missiles, achieving a direct hit.

The statement noted that the ship was attacked after failing to heed warnings from Yemeni naval forces. The owner of the vessel violated the restriction on accessing ports in occupied Palestine, prompting the operation.

The Yemeni Armed Forces reaffirmed their commitment to enforcing a naval blockade on the Israeli occupation, vowing to target any vessels associated with or bound for occupied Palestine.

The statement emphasized that attacks on Israeli assets, including missile and drone strikes, would continue until the aggression against Gaza is halted, the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted, and hostilities in Lebanon are ceased.

Ongoing support operations

YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced Sunday that they have successfully executed a precise military operation targeting key military and strategic sites of the Israeli occupation in Yafa (Tel Aviv) and Askalan (Ashkelon), located in southern occupied Palestine.

Saree announced that the operation, executed using multiple drones, "successfully achieved its objectives" as part of the fifth phase of escalations.

The operation was executed "in support of the oppressed Palestinian and Lebanese people, and a powerful display of solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance."

The spokesperson also confirmed that they will continue their military operations in response to the occupation's crimes in Gaza and Lebanon, and will not stop until the aggression stops, the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted, and the aggression on Lebanon stops.

'Amazing' capabilities

The Pentagon's chief weapons buyer said Ansar Allah showcased increasingly advanced weaponry, including missiles with capabilities described as "amazing".

Speaking at an Axios-hosted defense event, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Bill LaPlante expressed alarm over the sophistication of these weapons.

Ansar Allah has been employing drones and missiles for over a year to disrupt shipping routes in waters off Yemen as they impose a blockade on the Israeli occupation over its genocide in Gaza and aggression on Lebanon.

"I'm an engineer and a physicist, and I've been around missiles my whole career," LaPlante said at the Future of Defense summit in Washington, DC. "What I've seen of what Ansar Allah has done in the last six months is shocking."

In a recent operation, two US Navy destroyers were attacked while navigating the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the critical waterway linking the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

According to US Central Command, at least eight drones, five anti-ship ballistic missiles, and four anti-ship cruise missiles were intercepted, preventing any injuries or damage to the warships.
