The Houthis: We directly hit a ship in the Red Sea with a drone boat, and we targeted a ship in the Indian Ocean with missiles.

The Ansar Allah movement in Yemen (the Houthis) announced on Sunday that it had targeted a ship with a drone boat and directly hit it in the Red Sea, and that it had targeted a ship in the Indian Ocean with a number of winged missiles.

The military spokesman for the Houthis, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said in a statement: “In victory for the oppression of the Palestinian people and their mujahideen and in response to the Zionist enemy’s massacres against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the naval forces of our armed forces carried out a second targeting operation against the “Transworld Navigator” ship in the Red Sea with a boat. A drone led to a direct hit on the ship.”

The statement added: “The missile force in our armed forces carried out a targeting operation against the ship “STOLT SEQUOIA” in the Indian Ocean with a number of winged missiles, and the operation achieved its goals successfully.”

Saree continued in his statement: “The two ships were targeted because the companies that owned them violated the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.”

The military spokesman for “Ansar Allah” continued: “As part of the response to the American-British aggression against our country, the operations of the Yemeni armed forces, thanks to God, led to forcing the American aircraft carrier Eisenhower to leave and withdraw from the Red Sea as a result of operations targeting it by our forces in the Red Sea during the period.” "The Yemeni Armed Forces renew their warning to all companies continuing to do business with the Israeli occupation through maritime shipping that their ships will be directly targeted in the area of ​​operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces, regardless of their destination."

He continued: "The Yemeni Armed Forces praise the companies that stopped shipping operations to the ports of occupied Palestine and dealt positively with what was stated in their previous statements. The operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue, with the help of God Almighty, until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted."
