In a statement from the Spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e, he confirmed that ten members of the Yemeni naval forces were killed by US forces, who attacked three Yemeni gunboats while they were carrying out their routine official duties in reinforcing security and stability and protecting maritime navigation in the Red Sea.
“While the Naval Forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces were carrying out their routine official duties in reinforcing security and stability and protecting maritime navigation, in addition fulfilling their humanitarian and ethical duty declared by Yemen in prohibiting “Israeli” ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine from passing through the Red Sea in solidarity and support of the Palestinian people, the American enemy forces attacked three boats belonging to the Yemeni Naval Forces, resulting in the martyrdom and loss of ten naval personnel,” Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said in a statement this evening.
He added, “The Yemeni armed forces confirm that the American enemy bears the consequences of this crime and its repercussions, and that its military presence in the Red Sea to protect Israeli ships will not prevent Yemen from performing its religious, moral, and humanitarian duty in support and victory for the oppressed in Palestine and Gaza.”
In the statement, Sare’e called on other nations not to engage in the dangerous American course, which will have negative repercussions that could affect everyone.
In another context, the Yemeni Naval Forces successfully carried out a military operation targeting the container ship “Maersk Hangzhou ,” which was headed to the ports of occupied Palestine, using appropriate naval missiles, the military spokesmen said. This operation came after the refusal of the ship’s crew to respond to the warning calls of the Yemeni Naval Forces.
The Yemeni Armed Forces reiterated their previous statements regarding the prevention of all “Israeli” ships or those headed to the ports of occupied Palestine from passing, while maintaining complete care for maritime navigation to all destinations except for the “Israeli” entity.
The Yemeni Armed Forces renewed their advice to all countries not to be drawn into American plans aimed at igniting conflict in the Red Sea and affirmed that they would not hesitate to confront any aggression against our country and our people.
The Yemeni Armed Forces called upon the Yemeni people and all the free people of our Arab and Islamic nation to be highly vigilant and prepared for all options in the face of the American escalation that supports the criminal Zionist entity and encourages it to commit more crimes against our brothers in Gaza.
