Yemeni armed forces have carried out three military operations against a container ship and two US destroyers in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and its fighters and in response to the American-British aggression against the country,
“By the grace of Allah, the missile force, the drone force, and the naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted a joint military operation targeting the ship “Contship Ono” in the Red Sea with a number of ballistic missiles and drones. The strike was accurate, by the grace of Allah,” Yemen’s military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said in a statement this evening.

Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e confirmed that the targeting of the ship came due to its owner’s violation of the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.
Sare’e added, “The drone force executed a specialized military operation targeting the American destroyer “Cole” in the Gulf of Aden with a number of drones. The operation successfully achieved its objective, by the grace of Allah. The naval forces executed a qualitative military operation targeting the American destroyer “Lassen” with a number of ballistic missiles.”
The targeting of the two American destroyers occurred while they were crossing the Yemeni Armed Forces’ area of operations towards the northern Red Sea, as part of the American military protection provided to the Israeli enemy, he explained.
He noted that the results of the operations included the failure of the destroyers to completely intercept the missiles and drones, with several drones and missiles successfully achieving their objectives, by the grace of Allah.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces consider all American military movements in the area of naval operations to be support for the “Israeli” enemy and hostile movements, and will not hesitate, by the grace of Allah, to target these movements with all available means,” according to the statement.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces call upon all the peoples of our Arab and Islamic nation to support Palestine, Gaza, and the martyred leader Ismail Haniyeh through practical moves to reject American military movements and all forms of support for the Israeli enemy,” the statement read.
“The operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the battle of Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad will continue until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in Gaza is lifted,” the brigadier general stressed.
