SANAA, Jan. 26 (YPA) – The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Friday evening the targeting of a British oil ship in the Gulf of Aden with a number of appropriate naval missiles.

The official spokesman for the armed forces, Brigadier General Yahya Sarie, explained in a statement that the naval forces of the Yemeni armed forces targeted the British oil ship “MARLIN LUANDA” in the Gulf of Aden, and the hit was direct, which led to its burning.

He stated that the action is in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and is part of a response to US-British aggression against Yemen.
