US responsible for its actions

The Deputy Foreign Minister of Sanaa, Hussein El-Ezzi, affirmed that Yemen is fully aware of the United States' possible hostile plots against the country, holding it fully accountable for the ramifications of its "foolishness".

In a post on X, El-Ezzi threatened Washington that it would be left unable to "find one secure path in the region" in case it commits any aggressive action, noting that "its interests would be legitimate targets for all free people."

El-Ezzi subsequently called on Washington to cease its aggressive stance against Yemen, before its "defeated ideas lead it to long-lasting hell."

This comes amid the US' continuous mobilization of internal agents to shake Yemeni stability after it failed to deter its forces in the Red Sea.

Earlier today, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Yahya Saree, announced that the YAF's naval forces targeted a British oil vessel in the Red Sea. He confirmed that the targeting was carried out with several suitable naval missiles, achieving a direct hit.

The Yemeni armed forces also successfully shot down an American MQ9 drone above Saada Governorate using an appropriate missile, as it engaged in hostile missions against Yemen.
