Yemen successfully targeted two US, UK ships in Red Sea

TEHRAN, Feb. 06 (MNA) – Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Yahya Saree announces the successful targeting of the US cargo ship Star Nasia and the UK cargo ship Morning Tide in the Red Sea.

Yahya Saree, the spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces, announced that Yemen's Naval Forces have conducted two military operations in the Red Sea targeting ships belonging to the US and UK, the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV English website reported.

According to the spokesperson, the first operation targeted US ship "Star Nasia", while the other one targeted the British "Morning Tide" using "suitable naval missiles" and stressing that "strikes were direct and accurate."

Saree also announced the intention of the Yemeni Armed Forces to carry out additional military operations against US and British targets in the Arabian and Red Seas, asserting their right to respond to aggression and defend Yemen and its people.

Moreover, the spokesperson reiterated the Yemeni Armed Forces' commitment to pursuing military operations in the Red Sea, specifically targeting Israeli shipping and vessels en route to occupied Palestinian ports. These actions would continue until the siege on Gaza is lifted and the aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip ceases.

In turn, sources told Al Mayadeen that "the operation was carried out despite American and British overflights," and despite the ongoing bombardment of Hodeidah and Saada in recent days.
