The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces says the country’s naval units have conducted multiple operations against British and Israeli commercial vessels, Press TV reported.
The Yemeni forces also targeted US military frigates off the nation's coast in support of Palestinians amid Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
Speaking at a televised press briefing broadcast live from the Yemeni capital city of Sana’a on Sunday, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the country’s forces struck the British container ship HOPE ISLAND in the Red Sea.
He noted that the vessel was struck with “appropriate” naval missiles, emphasizing that the hit was direct.
Yemeni naval units also struck the Israeli general cargo ship MSC GRACE F in the Indian Ocean. In addition, they targeted Israeli-owned container ship MSC GINA in the Arabian Sea, Saree said.
The operations were carried out with several ballistic and winged missiles, stressing that the designated targets were precisely struck, he added.
Furthermore, Yemeni naval forces launched several combat drones during two separate operations in the Red Sea, targeting several US military frigates.
Saree underscored that the missile attacks came in support of the oppressed Palestinian population in Gaza and in response to joint American-British aggression against Yemen.
