Yemen announces 'accurate hit' against American ship
Yemen has announced striking an American ship in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who have come under a genocidal Israeli war that enjoys full-on support on the part of the United States.
According to reports, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced the development in a statement on Wednesday.
He identified the target as "American Genco Picardy ship" and the whereabouts of the operation as the Gulf of Aden.
"The operation was carried out using a number of appropriate naval missiles," he said, adding, "The hit was accurate."
"Yemeni Armed Forces will not hesitate to target all sources of threat in the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea as part of legitimate right to self-defense of Yemen, and continued support for oppressed Palestinian people," the statement noted.
The US has been providing the illegal Zionist entity with ample military and political support.
It has armed the Israeli regime with more than 10,000 tons of military hardware since the onset of the war. Washington has also vetoed all United Nations Security Council resolutions that have been calling for cessation of the Israeli attacks.
As part of their support for Palestinians, Yemen's Armed Forces and Ansarullah popular resistance movement have, over the past month, targeted several ships owned by the Israeli regime or bound for ports in the occupied territories in the strategic Red Sea after multiple warnings.
Saree said, "We continue to prevent Israeli ships or those heading to the occupied ports of Palestine until aggression ceases, and blockade on Gaza is lifted."
He, meanwhile, reaffirmed the Yemeni forces' "full commitment to ensuring uninterrupted navigation in the Red Sea to all destinations, except for ports of the occupied Palestine."
