The Yemeni army says it has carried out a fresh naval operation against an Israeli-linked ship in the Arabian Sea.
The army spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said a Liberian-flagged container was hit during the operation.
He added that the operation was carried out using a newly unveiled missile capable of hitting targets accurately and over long distances.
As this operation demonstrated, Saree said, the missile is distinguished by its ability to hit targets accurately and over long distances.
The spokesman said that the Yemeni armed forces continue to develop their military capabilities “to enhance their jihadist role to support the Palestinian resistance militarily and to defend dear Yemen in the face of American-British aggression.”
The Yemeni military official stressed that such attacks are in response to the US and UK airstrikes against the Arab country and in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.
He also reiterated that these operations will continue unless Israel ends its war and siege on the Palestinians in Gaza.
“The operations of the Yemeni armed forces will not stop unless the aggression is stopped and the siege imposed on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted,” he said.
Yemen’s Armed Forces have been carrying out countless operations against Israel-linked ships or those heading towards ports in the occupied Palestinian territories since October 7, 2023 when the Tel Aviv regime began its genocidal war on Gaza.
Nearly 37,650 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and over 86,000 others sustained injuries in the brutal Israeli military onslaught against the coastal sliver.
The Yemeni forces have also conducted many operations against American and British vessels in response to deadly attacks by the United States and the UK against their country, which have been seeking to stop the forces’ pro-Palestinian operations.
