Yemeni naval forces target container ship bound for Zionist entity

SANAA, Dec. 14 (YPA) – Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Yehya Sarie announced in a statement published on Thursday evening that the Yemeni Navy attacked the container ship “Mercik Gebrlater”, which was heading to the Israeli entity with a drone.

“In support of the oppressed Palestinian people, who are currently being subjected to killing, destruction, and siege in the Gaza Strip, and in response to the calls of the free people from our great Yemeni nation and our nation’s children. The Yemeni Armed Forces’ Naval Forces, with the help of Allah Almighty, carried out a military operation against the container ship “Maersk Gibraltar,” which was headed to the “Israeli” entity. It was targeted by a drone, and it was directly hit,” Brigadier General Yehya Sarie said.

Sarie confirmed that the attack came after the ship’s crew refused to respond to the calls of the Yemeni Naval Forces.

He added that the Yemeni Armed Forces have successfully prevented several ships headed to the “Israeli” entity from passing through in the last 48 hours.

The military spokesman concluded his statement by saying: “The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their continued efforts to prevent all ships heading to the “Israeli” ports  from navigating in the Arabian and Red Seas until the necessary food and medicine are allowed to enter for our steadfast brothers in the Gaza Strip.”
