The spokesperson further stated that the YAF’s military operations will continue at an escalating pace in the declared naval operational area against the “Israeli and American enemies,” vowing not to cease until the aggression on Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted.
This latest strike comes in response to the “Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip” and the “American-British aggression on Yemen,” the statement said, adding that the operation was carried out in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance.
In a separate development, the YAF also announced the successful targeting of a vital site in the occupied Yafa region using a hypersonic missile of the “Palestine 2” type.
