The Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yehya Sare’e announced on Wednesday evening that the country’s naval forces carried out a specific military operation targeting an American merchant ship “COL” that was heading to the ports of occupied Palestine with several appropriate naval missiles that directly hit the vessel.
According to Sare’e, this operation occurred just a few hours after Yemeni naval forces have targeted with several naval missiles the American destroyer USS Gravely in the Red Sea, and the hit was accurate and direct.

The Yemeni Armed Forces continue to provide support and solidarity with their brothers in the Gaza Strip by blocking Israeli navigation or those heading to occupied Palestinian ports in the Red and Arab Seas until food and medicine are allowed, he affirmed.
The Yemeni armed forces will confront the American-British escalation with escalation and will not hesitate to carry out comprehensive and effective military operations in retaliation to any British-American foolishness against beloved Yemen, he stressed
The Yemeni armed forces further confirm that all American and British ships in the Red and Arabian Seas are legitimate targets for the Yemeni Armed Forces as long as the American-British aggression against our country continues, Sare’e concluded
