The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Tuesday that the forces had carried out a successful drone strike on a vital Israeli military target in the southern occupied Naqab region.

In a televised statement, Saree confirmed that an additional drone attack targeted the port of Umm al-Rashrash (also known as Eilat), emphasizing that both operations achieved their objectives with precision.

Operations to continue until siege is lifted

Brigadier General Saree stressed that the operations are part of Yemen’s ongoing response to the Israeli regime’s war on Gaza, declaring that military strikes will persist until the aggression is halted and the blockade on the Palestinian people is lifted.

"The operations are continuing as part of our religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed people of Gaza," Saree stated, underscoring the broader regional resistance framework.

Yemen's armed forces have reiterated that their operations in the Red Sea are strictly directed at vessels linked to the Israeli regime or involved in the aggression on Gaza. Recent targets included the ETERNITY C, bound for Eilat, and Magic Seas, intercepted in the Red Sea.
