The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced another series of operations in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean, targeting Israeli-affiliated ships and American warships in the aforementioned waterways, the spokesperson for the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Tuesday night. 

The YAF targeted the US-flagged MAERSK YORKTOWN container ship in the Gulf of Aden with several anti-ship missiles, which dealt direct hits to their target. The last updated position of the ship was in the Arabian Sea, 16 hours ago, according to maritime tracking websites. 

Saree also announced in his statement that the Yemeni Unmanned Air Force executed two operations, the first targeted a US warship in the Gulf of Aden while the other targeted an Israeli ship in the Pacific Ocean. 

The Israeli ship was identified as the MSC VERACRUZ, which last updated its position nine days ago near South Africa, on the Cape of Good Hope route. The Yemeni Armed Forces had previously pledged to cut off the pre-Suez Canal route for Israeli-affiliated ships. 

Saree underlined that the operations of the Unmanned Air Force achieved their set objectives.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to take further military measures against all hostile targets in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean in defense of dear Yemen and in confirmation of the position of support for the oppressed Palestinian people," Saree emphasized.

Yemen's intent to cut off Israeli shipping routes proves impossible to counter

Earlier on April 10, 2024, the YAF announced that it executed four operations in the Gulf of Aden as a response to ongoing aggression against the Yemeni people and in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza.

The Yemeni Armed Forces on the first day of Eid al-Fitr targeted several vessels, including ones belonging to the Israeli occupation and the United States.

The naval forces "successfully, with the help of Allah Almighty, executed the operations, aiming at disrupting maritime activities in the region and sending a clear message to the aggressors."

Two Israeli vessels, identified as the MSC DARWIN and the MSC GINA, bore the brunt of the Yemeni strikes, indicating a deliberate targeting of vessels linked to Israeli interests. Additionally, the American ship MAERSK YORKTOWN found itself under fire in the Gulf of Aden after clear warnings against such vessels crossing through the body of water.

Further intensifying their actions, Yemeni forces engaged a US warship in the Gulf of Aden deploying several drones in the operation. The Yemeni Armed Forces disclosed that the vessels were targeted utilizing a combination of anti-ship missiles and drones.

The Yemeni Armed Forces' support for the Palestinian people has been ongoing since November 2023, as the Yemeni people and the Ansar Allah movement insist on supporting the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
