The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out several naval and aerial military operations on Tuesday against Israeli and US targets, spokesperson Brigadier-General Yahya Saree said in a statement.
Saree announced that Yemen's Air Force drone unit launched several drones against hostile US warships in the Red and Arabian Seas and another batch targeting sensitive Israeli military sites in "Eilat" (occupied Umm el-Rashash).

Meanwhile, the Naval Forces targeted using several naval missiles the Israeli ship MSC SILVER in the Gulf of Aden.
Brigadier General Saree stressed that these operations come "in support of the Palestinian people, who are still facing the Israeli aggression and siege, and in response to the US and British aggression on our country."
The operations come just one day after the Yemeni army spokesperson announced that the navy attacked two US-owned ships in the Red Sea, confirming that the vessels were directly hit.
He also revealed that the British ship RUBYMAR, which was struck by several anti-ship missiles on Sunday along with downing the US-made MQ-9 Reaper, has sank.
A source from Yemen told Al Mayadeen that the UK vessel was carrying ammonia and that it caught fire following the strike and began sinking in the sea after attempts to rescue it failed"
