The Yemeni armed forces announced that they attacked the American LAREGO DESERT and the Israeli MSC MECHELA in the Indian Ocean on Monday in continuation of the military operations being carried out in support of Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced, also attacked the Liberian-flagged MINERVA LISA oil tanker in the Red Sea over its violation of the Yemeni prohibition on entry to "Israel".
Saree also said the Yemeni Armed Forces launched several ballistic missiles at an Israeli ship in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Yemeni Armed Forces also carried out two operations against two US destroyers in the Red Sea, wherein they carried out two drone strikes on the vessels, Saree declared.
The announcement of the operations came after caretaker Yemeni Prime Minister Abdul-Aziz bin Habtour praised the Palestinian people and Resistance alike during an interview with Al Mayadeen, saying the Palestinian people had demonstrated heroism "that no people in the world can reach."
Bin Habtour emphasized that Palestinians should "trust that the support front in Yemen will remain with them and by their side until the last breath."
The caretaker prime minister also underlined that Yemeni missiles had reached the Mediterranean Sea, vowing to attack the Israeli occupation "wherever our hands, missiles, and firepower reach, in support of the Palestinian people."
The latest batch of operations carried out by Sanaa came days earlier on Friday, wherein they carried out three top-tier operations against three different ships in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and in retaliation to the American-British aggression against Yemen.
Saree said that the first operation targeted the Israeli ship MSC ALEXANDRA in the Arabian Sea with several ballistic missiles.
The second operation, which comes as part of the fourth phase of escalation, was carried out by the YAF Navy, the Air Force, and the missile force, targeting the YANNIS ship, which belongs to a Greek company Eastern Mediterranean Maritime as it was sailing through the Red Sea.
The Yemeni spokesperson confirmed that the hit was accurate, explaining that the operation came after three ships belonging to the same Greek company docked at occupied Palestinian ports on May 4 and 5.
