The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced that “the naval forces, the missile force, and the drone aerial force carried out three military operations during the past 24 hours.”
“The first operation targeted the Verbena ship in the Arabian Sea, directly hitting it and causing a fire. The second and third operations targeted the Seaguardian and Athena ships in the Red Sea, also achieving direct hits,” Saree declared in a press conference on Thursday.
Saree emphasized that “the operations in support of Gaza will continue unless the aggression halts and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.”
“We are committed to following Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi’s directives, expanding operations, and enhancing capabilities to support the Palestinian people in Gaza and defend our country,” he added.
