Yemen targets American destroyer in Red Sea
The spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces announced the targeting of a US destroyer and a ship related to the Zionist regime in the Red Sea.
The new operations follow a series of attacks by Yemeni forces on Saturday, targeting American and Israel-linked vessels, including a second hit on the US aircraft carrier Eisenhower.
-Issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces:
Triumphing for the oppression of the Palestinian people and their mujahideen, and in response to the Zionist enemy’s massacres against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
The naval forces of our Armed Forces carried out a second targeting operation against the ship (Transworld Navigator) in the Red Sea, using an uncrewed surface boat, led to a direct hit against the ship.
The missile force of our Armed Forces carried out an operation targeting the ship (STOLT SEQUOIA) in the Indian Ocean with a number of cruise missiles, and the operation has successfully achieved its objectives.
The two ships were targeted owing to the violation of the companies that own them to the ban decision of entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.
As part of retaliation to the American-British aggression against our country, the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces led to forcibly leave and withdraw of the American aircraft carrier Eisenhower from the Red Sea as a result of targeting operations against it by our Armed Forces in the Red Sea during the last period of time.
The Yemeni Armed Forces renew their warning to all companies continue to do business with the Israeli occupation through maritime shipping that their ships will be directly targeted in the operation zone of the Yemeni Armed Forces, regardless of their destination.
The Yemeni Armed Forces appreciate the companies that halted maritime shipping operations to the ports of occupied Palestine and reacted positively with what was stated in the previous statements.
The operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.
