News - Yemen: The Yemeni Armed Forces announced the targeting of a British ship, in Aden Gulf, in continued support for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who have come under a genocidal US-backed war by the Israeli regime.

"British ship, LYCAVITOS, was targeted accurately with appropriate naval missiles," the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Sare’e said in a statement issued on Thursday evening.

The Armed Forces reiterated their commitment to providing support to the Palestinian people in Gaza by preventing Israeli navigation or vessels heading to the occupied Palestinian ports in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea until the aggression stops. 

The statement also indicated that the Armed Forces are "taking further measures in response to the US-UK aggression in defense of Yemen and as a reaffirmation of support for Palestine."

The Yemeni armed forces called on all free people from Islamic nation to take practical and serious stances in support of our brothers in the Gaza Strip and in rejection of Zionist crimes.

They stated, "We will face the American-British escalation with escalation and will not hesitate to carry out extensive and qualitative military operations in response to any recklessness."

The Armed Forces highlighted that all American and British ships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea are legitimate targets as long as the aggression against Yemen persists.

They emphasized that this operation is a triumph for the just cause of the Palestinian people, who continue to face ongoing Israeli aggression, and it is part of the response to the US-British aggression against Yemen.

Over the past month, the Yemeni Armed Forces have been staging 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 and siege that the Israeli regime has been waging against Gaza following an operation carried out by the Palestinian territory's resistance movements.

Around 27,000 Palestinians, some 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.

The latest Yemeni operation raises the number of American ships targeted by the Yemeni Armed Forces to nine since January 10, following an attack on three Yemeni naval boats by US forces, resulting in the martyrdom and loss of ten Navy personnel on December 30.
