Yemen's Armed Forces fire ballistic missiles against American warships in the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab Strait in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who have come under a genocidal war by Israel.
Cited by Yemen's al-Masirah television network, the forces reported striking the American warships, including a number of destroyers, with the projectiles on Wednesday as the vessels were providing protection for two American commercial vessels, reports Press TV.
"Despite attempts by the warships to intercept them, our ballistic missiles have reached their targets successfully," the forces said, noting that an American warship was "directly hit" and the commercial vessels "were forced to retreat."
The entire development "lasted for two hours," the announcement added.
Over the past month, the forces and Yemen's Ansarullah popular resistance movement have been staging many such strikes against Israeli vessels or those bound for the occupied Palestinian territories' ports.
