Yemeni forces strike US destroyer, 3 ships with missiles, drone

The Yemeni Army says it has carried out another retaliatory operation in nearby waters, in response to the American-British aggression against the country.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Yemeni Army says it has carried out another retaliatory operation in nearby waters, in response to the American-British aggression against the country.

Yemeni army spokesman Yahya Saree said on Sunday the new operation was carried out by Yemen’s naval, drone, and missile forces.

It targeted an American destroyer and three US Navy supply ships with sixteen ballistic and winged missiles and a drone in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

“The Yemeni Armed Forces' naval forces, drone air force and missile force, with the help of Allah Almighty, carried out a qualitative and joint military operation, targeting an American destroyer and three supply ships belonging to the American army, namely ‘Stena Impeccable,’ ‘Maersk Saratoga’ and ‘Liberty Grace,’” Saree said in a statement.

Saree stressed that Yemeni missiles and drone hit their targets with precision.

“The operation was carried out with sixteen ballistic and winged [cruise] missiles and a drone in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and the hits were accurate and direct, thanks be to Allah,” he added.

The operation came after earlier in the day, Yemen’s army said it had carried out a successful missile strike hitting a vital target in Tel Aviv in the occupied territories.

The operation was conducted using a hypersonic Palestine 2 missile.

Saree stressed that Yemen’s anti-US and anti-Israel operations will continue until the Zionist regime’s ongoing genocide in Gaza stops.

“These operations will not cease until the aggression against the Gaza Strip stops and the siege is lifted,” Saree said.

“Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs. How excellent is the Protector, and how excellent is the Helper,” he added.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the territory’s resistance movements carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity.

Israel has killed at least 44,382 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 105,142 others in Gaza.

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement maintains that it targets ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

In October, the US military unleashed B-2 stealth bombers to bomb Yemen in support of Israel.
