A new group in Aden launched attacks on Israeli ships in the Indian Ocean, Anis Mansour, the head of the Hona Aden Center for Strategic Studies said.
In a post on his X account, Mansour tweeted that “a group called itself “ Ahrar Aden” from southern Yemen claims responsibility for any attack on Israeli ships in the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Gulf of Aden.”
مجموعة اسمها احرار عدن من جنوب اليمن تعلن مسؤوليتها عن استهداف اي سفن إسرائيلية في المحيط الهندي وبحر العرب وخليج عدن #هو_الله #اليمن_قول_وفعل #حماس_تمثل_أمة_الإسلام

Mansour did not give further information on how he obtained this information, especially since Mansour is the only source of this report.
Earlier today, the Associated Press published a story about the targeting of an Israeli ship in the northern Indian Ocean. None of the North Ocean Rim countries have confirmed the report.
