The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Monday that they conducted four significant military operations targeting ships belonging to the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Israeli occupation, achieving direct hits.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, detailed the attacks in a statement. The first operation targeted the Israeli ship MSC Unific VI in the Arabian Sea using several cruise missiles.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have targeted today the following ships:

• The Israeli Cargo ship (MSC Unific VI) in the Arabian Sea
• The American Oil Tanker (Delonix) in the Red Sea
• The British Cargo ship (Anvil Point) in the Indian Ocean
• The Oil Tanker (Lucky Sailor) in the… pic.twitter.com/YOyI7zaqQP

The second operation, according to Saree, targeted the US oil tanker Delonix in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles. This marks the second attack on the Delonix within the same week.

In the third operation, Yemeni forces targeted the British Cargo ship Anvil Point in the Indian Ocean with cruise missiles.

The fourth operation targeted the Lucky Sailor ship in the Mediterranean Sea, again using cruise missiles.

The Yemeni Armed Forces underlined that this attack was due to the ship's owning company violating a ban on entering ports in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The YAF stated that their operations will not cease until the aggression stops and the blockade on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.

Continuous support

These operations follow on the heels of similar ones just before the weekend, where the YAF attacked four Israeli-affiliated ships and an American vessel in the Mediterranean and Red Sea on Friday.

Saree said that the YAF conducted a joint operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, in which the groups fired several suicide drones toward the WALER chemical and oil products tanker in the Mediterranean Sea. He explained that the ship was sailing toward the Israeli-occupied Haifa Port, breaching the terms of the Yemeni embargo on the Israeli occupation. 

The YAF Rocket Force and Navy also targeted the American-owned DELONIX chemical tanker in the Red Sea, utilizing several anti-ship ballistic missiles that reportedly directly impacted the vessel. 

Ships linked to the United States have become a target for the YAF, after the US military launched dozens of strikes on Yemen, in a show of support to the Israeli regime. 

Moreover, the YAF's Rocket Force fired an anti-ship cruise missile at the JOHANNES MAERSK container ship in the Mediterranean Sea. Saree explained that the shipping conglomerate Maersk has been one of the biggest backers of the Israeli occupation and has also violated the terms of the Yemeni blockade on the Israeli occupation on multiple occasions. In turn, this has made all Maersk-affiliated vessels a target for the YAF, according to previous statements read out by the brigadier general.

The IOANNIS bulk carrier was also attacked by several explosive-laden unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), resulting in direct hits on the vessel. The YAF's spokesperson said that the ship was targeted after it breached the embargo. 

The Yemeni people and their armed forces continue to reiterate their proactive support to the Palestinian people by putting ships and companies supplying the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians under the direct threat of attacks across different waters. The YAF is also working on enhancing its operations targeting traffic into two major Israeli-occupied ports in Haifa and Isdud by cooperating with Iraqi Resistance factions, expanding the scope of its supportive operations.
