A maritime source has confirmed that the ship targeted by the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Gulf of Aden is an American vessel carrying poultry feed, not humanitarian aid as claimed by the US.
The source denied the accuracy of the US claims that the ship was carrying humanitarian aid, affirming that it was loaded with poultry feed.
He accused the American side of distorting facts and working to manipulate global public opinion through misinformation about the cargo and destination of the targeted ship.
On Tuesday, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced the targeting of an American ship in the Gulf of Aden with several naval missiles, achieving direct hits.
The US Central Command has claimed that the targeted ship carrying humanitarian assistance to Yemen. CENTCOM pointed out that the ship “has delivered humanitarian aid to Yemen 11 times in the past five years.”
