Spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that an American ship was targeted in the Gulf of Aden.
“In support of the oppressed Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, who remain to be subjected to the worst kinds of massacres by the Zionist entity, and in retaliation to the American-British aggression against our country,” He opened up.
“The naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting an American ship in the Gulf of Aden, with several appropriate naval missiles, resulting in precise and direct hits,” he added.
He affirmed that all American and British ships and military units participating in the aggression against Yemen, are considered “legitimate targets” for the Yemeni Armed Forces: falling within their targets’ list.
Yahya Saree went on to say, “The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that retaliation against American and British attacks is inevitable, and any new aggression will not go unpunished.”
Saree added that the Yemeni Armed Forces persisted with their military operations: enforcing a blockade on Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian seas until a ceasefire is achieved in Gaza, and the siege on Gaza is lifted.
Saree also categorically emphasized that Yemen would continue to exercise its natural right to national self-defense by taking any tactical measures deemed necessary to confront the American and British aggressors.
Finally, he reaffirmed Yemen’s commitment to international trade in the Arabian and Red Seas to any destination in the world except for the Israeli-run ports of occupied Palestine.
