The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) conducted three operations targeting crude oil tankers in the Red Sea and a joint operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeting another crude oil tanker in the Mediterranean, the spokesperson for the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced. 

The first operation saw multiple unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), suicide drones, and ballistic missiles launched at the BENTLEY I oil products tanker in the Red Sea. The operation was jointly conducted by the YAF's Navy, Rocket Force, and Unmanned Air Force on Monday. 

Saree also said that the YAF struck the CHIOS LION oil tanker with a USV in the Red Sea. 

The spokesperson said that the two ships were attacked after they violated the terms of Yemen's embargo on the Israeli occupation.

UKMTO, a maritime security company, released two warnings regarding similar incidents, the first of which related to a ship, located 97 nautical miles to the northwest of Hodeidah, Yemen. It said that at around 12:00 pm (UTC), a vessel was attacked by a USV, which impacted its port side causing damage and light smoke. 

The monitor also reported on an attack on another vessel, 70 nautical miles southeast of Hodeidah, saying that the vessel was attacked on multiple occasions and that one USV exploded in close proximity at 3:30 pm (UTC).

In the Mediterranean, the YAF and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq launched an attack on the OLIVIA oil tanker. Saree said that the operation achieved the intended goals. 

"The continuation of the Israeli aggression in committing massacres against our brothers in Gaza will only push the Yemeni people, their armed forces, and their faithful, struggling leadership to [conduct more operations in support of the Palestinian people]," Saree stated. 

He said this would only stop until the Israeli aggression on Gaza is ended and the siege on the Palestinian people is lifted.
