Yemeni armed forces launch new attack on US warship in Arabian Sea

Spokesman of Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree said on Tuesday that the Yemeni forces carried out “a qualitative military operation targeting two American warships in the Red Sea through our naval forces, missile force, and drone air force.”

“The operation was executed with many naval missiles and drones,” he added.

The spokesman said the operation was carried out “in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and as part of the response to the American-British aggression against our country.”

“The Yemeni Armed Forces will not hesitate to expand their operations against all hostile targets in response to the calls of the free from our great people and our Islamic nation in providing support and assistance to the Palestinian people who are still under aggression and siege to this moment,” Saree said.

He added that the operations of the “Yemeni Armed Forces will not stop until the aggression ceases and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.”

In his Monday statement to the media, Saree reiterated that Yemen will continue preventing ships linked to Israel from sailing in regional waters until the regime stops its aggression on Palestinians in Gaza and lifts its siege on the territory.

Yemen’s Armed Forces have been striking Israeli-linked ships since November last year in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, where more than five months of Israeli war has killed some 30,631 people, mostly women and children, and injured more than 72,000 others.

Targeting Israel-linked vessels in the Red Sea and in the Gulf of Aden is part of Yemen’s push to force the Israeli regime to end its brutal aggression against the Palestinians in Gaza.
