News - Yemen: The Yemeni Armed Forces reported carrying out a targeted operation against the American ship "Chem Ranger" in the Gulf of Aden on Friday.

Yahya Sare'e, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, stated in a release that the operation was conducted by the Yemeni Naval Forces using appropriate naval missiles, resulting in a direct hit.

"The operation stands as a response to the injustice suffered by the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and a reaction to the US-British aggression on our country," he added.

Sare'e emphasized that a response to the US-UK aggression is inevitable, and any new attack will not go unanswered

He reiterated the Yemeni forces' commitment to ensuring uninterrupted navigation in the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf to all destinations, excluding ports in occupied Palestine.

The statement underscored the Yemeni Armed Forces' dedication to defending Yemen's legitimate right to self-defense and continuing support for the oppressed Palestinian people. Sare'e confirmed the prevention of Israeli ships or those heading to occupied Palestinian ports until the aggression ceases and the Gaza blockade is lifted.

Over the past month, the Yemeni Armed Forces have staged many such strikes against Israeli vessels or those bound for the occupied Palestinian territories' ports.

The operations have been described as a response to the October 7-present war that the Israeli regime has been waging against Gaza following an operation carried out by the Palestinian territory's resistance movements.

At least 24,620 Palestinians, around 70 percent of whom are women, children, and adolescents, have been killed in the brutal onslaught so far.

The United States and the UK have also conducted several missile attacks against Yemeni targets in response to the Yemeni strikes.
