AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A top official of Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement has warned that any ground invasion of his country by American and British forces would expand the domain of Yemeni attacks in the strategic water off the country’s west coast.
Mohammed Al-Bakhiti a member of Ansarullah’s political office told the Al-Mayadeen network that the Yemeni armed forces would stop attacks on Israel-bound ships given that the United States, Britain and the Zionist regime stop deadly aggression in Gaza.
“Military operations against the Zionist regime will not stop until the aggression against Gaza is stopped”, he reiterated.
This Ansarullah official also reported an attack on a British warship that was closer to an American ship.
Our desire is to fight directly with the Americans”, he underlined, referring to the US aggression against Yemen over the country’s support for Palestinians.
US Central Command confirmed the Yemeni army's missile attack on another ship in the Red Sea on Sunday morning.
In a statement quoted by Al Jazeera, CENTCOM said the Yemeni army targeted a Marshall Islands-flagged ship with an anti-ship ballistic missile in the Gulf of Aden.
“The attack caused a big fire on the vessel, which was extinguished with the help of American, Indian and French navies”, the statement said, adding that the ship continued its voyage by returning to its previous route.
