The Yemeni armed forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree cinfirmed the attack on the US ship.
In a statement on Thursday, the forces reported "targeting American ship, Chem Ranger, in the Gulf of Aden with appropriate naval missiles, resulting in a direct hit."
Meanwhile the United States Central Commander-CENTCOM has claimed that there was no casualties or damage when the Yemeni forces struck a US-owned oil tanker.
According to Press TV, over the past month, the forces and Yemen's Ansarullah popular resistance movement have staged many such strikes against Israeli vessels or those bound for the occupied Palestinian territories' ports.
The operations have been described as a response to the October 7-present war that the Israeli regime has been waging against Gaza following an operation carried out by the Palestinian territory's resistance movements.
At least 24,620 Palestinians, around 70 percent of whom are women, children, and adolescents, have been killed in the brutal onslaught so far.
The United States and the UK have also conducted several missile attacks against Yemeni targets in response to the Yemeni strikes.
