Yemeni forces target US Navy vessels, including supply ship, in Red Sea

SANAA, April 06 (YPA) -The Yemeni Armed Forces targeted US Navy vessels, including a supply ship, on Saturday, according to Brigadier General Yahya Sarie, spokesperson for the Yemeni military

Sarie said that multiple branches of the Yemeni military engaged US Carrier Strike Group 8, including the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, for several hours.

The Rocket Force, the Unmanned Air Force, and the Navy fired multiple cruise missiles and one-way attack drones at the US Navy vessels in the Red Sea, he explained.

The spokesperson said that the operation hindered a US assault on Yemen, amid a three-week-long aggression on the country.

Sarie also revealed that the Yemeni Navy fired an anti-ship ballistic missile at a supply ship dedicated to Carrier Strike Group 8.

He also stressed that the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to defend the country against American aggression and support the Palestinian people, amid the continued Israeli genocidal war.

“Yemen, as a leadership, a people, and an army, is valiantly fighting the battle of victory for the oppressed Palestinian people in fulfillment of their religious, moral and humanitarian duties, and that the armed forces, with the help of God Almighty, continue to carry out their support and defensive operations until the end of the aggression on Gaza and the lifting of the blockade,” Sarie concluded.
