Yemeni Armed Forces Strike British Ship Rubymar, Down US MQ9 Drone
News - Yemen: The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Monday that the Naval Forces struck a British ship in the Gulf of Aden, causing it to cease its operations in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza, who are currently under aggression and siege.
“Our Naval Forces targeted the British ship Rubymar in the Gulf of Aden with several appropriate naval missiles, achieving direct and significant hits,” said the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e in a televised statement.
Sare’e affirmed that "as a result of the qualitative operation in the Gulf of Aden, the British ship was hit and came to a complete halt. Due to the extensive damage, the ship is at risk of sinking." He also noted that the Yemeni forces ensured the safe exit of the British ship's crew during the operation in the Gulf of Aden.
In the same regard, a spokesman for the Armed Forces announced that the Yemeni Air Defenses successfully shot down an American MQ9 aircraft with a suitable missile while it was conducting hostile missions against Yemen in the skies of Hodeidah Governorate on behalf of the Zionist entity.
The Armed Forces reiterated their commitment that their operations are in support of the just cause of the Palestinian people in Gaza, who are facing aggression and siege, and as part of the response to the US-British aggression against the country.
The statement emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces will not hesitate to take further military measures and conduct more qualitative operations against all hostile targets in defense of Yemen and support of the Palestinian people.
It affirmed that the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red and Arabian Seas will not stop until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted.
Yemenis have openly expressed their support for Palestine's struggle against Israeli occupation, particularly intensified after Israel launched a devastating attack on Gaza on October 7.
Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they would prevent the Israeli-bounded ships from moving through the Red Sea, Bab Al-Mandab strait until the Israeli aggression against Gaza stopped and the siege was lifted.
In response, the United States and the United Kingdom have conducted airstrikes in Yemen. This action follows the Biden administration and its allies providing unqualified support to the Tel Aviv regime. They have stated that Yemeni forces will face consequences for any attacks on Israeli-owned ships or vessels heading to the occupied territories.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have vowed to continue their attacks until the relentless Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza cease. These offensives have resulted in the deaths of at least 28,985 people and injuries to over 68,880 others.
