The spokesperson of the Ansarallah, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said that there was a confrontation today with several American destroyers and warships in the Gulf of Aden and the Strait Bab al-Mandeb.
Saree confirmed that the results of the confrontation included “directly hitting an American warship and forcing two American merchant ships to retreat and return.”
The Yemeni armed forces employed “a number of ballistic missiles” in the operation that lasted for more than two hours, Saree revealed
He added that during the confrontation “a number of our ballistic missiles reached their targets, despite the attempts of the warships to intercept them.”
He emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces continue to enforce a blockade on Zionist navigation in the Red Sea: preventing Zionist ships and ships bound for the occupation entity from reaching the ports of occupied Palestine until the aggression on Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted.
Maersk Shipping Company said that they would halt shipments again due to the naval blockade.
