The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced a new operation targeting the US Navy ship Lewis B Puller, while it was sailing in the Gulf of Aden. The ship was struck with an appropriate sea missile military spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said in a statement on Monday.
“In support of the Palestinian people and in response to the American-British aggression against our country, the navy forces launched on Sunday evening a maritime missile targeting a ship belonging to the US Navy named “Lewis B Puller” while it was sailing in the Gulf of Aden,” the statement read.
According to Sare’e, “the ship we targeted provides logistical support to the American forces participating in the aggression against our country.”
Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e affirmed the targeting operation is part of the measures taken by the Yemeni Armed Forces in defence of Yemen and as an affirmation of the decision to support Gaza.
The military spokesmen confirmed that the Yemeni forces would “continue to implement the decision to prohibit Israeli navigation or ships heading to the occupied Palestinian ports in the Red and Arabian Seas until the aggression stops and the blockade is lifted on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.”
