TEHRAN, Feb. 23 (MNA) – The Yemeni armed forces spokesman General Yahya Saree said that they have targeted an American ship in the Red Sea and a British ship in the Gulf of Aden.

Saree added that the Yemeni forces also targeted a port in occupied Palestinian territories in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The Yemeni forces have been conducting many such operations against Israeli vessels or those heading towards the occupied Palestinian territories' ports.

The operations have been described as a response to an October 7, 2023-present war and siege that the Israeli regime has been waging against Gaza following an operation carried out by the Palestinian territory's Resistance movements.

Nearly 27,000 Palestinians, mostly women, children, and adolescents, have died in the war so far.

The United States and the UK have also conducted several missile attacks against Yemeni targets in response to the Yemeni operations.
