The Yemeni military says it has targeted a US vessel and several destroyers with naval missiles and drones in the Red Sea in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, said in a video statement on Saturday that Yemeni forces implemented “two qualitative military operations” targeting a ship and a number of American warship destroyers in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with a “number of naval missiles and 37 drones,” Press TV reported.
“The first operation targeted the American ship ‘Propel Fortune’ in the Gulf of Aden with a number of suitable naval missiles, while the second operation targeted a number of US destroyers in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden with 37 drones,” he said.
“The two operations successfully achieved their goals,” he added.
The spokesman also thanked Yemeni people for their two million-strong demonstrations on Friday in the capital Sana’a and in other governorates and districts in confirmation of their firm position in support of the Palestinian people.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to carry out their military operations in the Red and Arab Sea until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted,” Saree underlined.
