Iran Press/ West Asia: Speaking at a televised press briefing broadcast live from the Yemeni capital city of Sana’a on Tuesday, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the country’s forces struck the US-owned Star Nasia bulk carrier and British Morning Tide general cargo ship in the Red Sea.
He noted that both ships were struck with “appropriate” naval missiles.
Saree went on to note that the missile attacks came in support of the oppressed Palestinian population in Gaza and in response to joint American-British aggression against Yemen.
He underscored that all US and British warships in the Red Sea and the Arab Sea are legitimate targets for Yemenis with the legitimate right to respond to any act of aggression, defend their homeland and nation, and reaffirm their staunch support of Palestine.
The senior Yemeni military figure also emphasized that his country’s military will continue its anti-Israel operations until the Tel Aviv regime halts its onslaught against Gaza and lifts all restrictions on supplies of humanitarian aid for its residents.
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 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 27,585 people and wounded another 67,000 individuals, come to an end.
A vessel attacked in Aden Gulf
A vessel crossing through the Red Sea in the Aden Gulf was hit, reported the British sources on Tuesday afternoon.
The British Maritime Security Services and the UK's Maritime Trade Operation (UMTO) announced a security accident in the 50 sea miles from the South of Aden, Yemen.
According to the report the vessel hosted the flag of Marsha Islands.
No further information has yet been released about the incident.
The Yemeni Army has declared that it would hit any vessel crossing the Red Sea toward the Israeli regime's ports to provide the regime with logistics and arms in the occupied territories of Planetule.
It stressed that as long as the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip continues, any such vessel would be targeted.
It was on October 7 that the Palestinian Resistance carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on the Israeli regime's forces in response to the regime's daily crimes against the Palestinian people during 75 years of occupation of Palestine since 1948.
Since then, the Israeli regime got into a frenzy and began to pound the Gaza Strip with bombs; so far over 27,400 people have been martyred a large part of whom are non-civilians including women and children.
