Yemeni naval sources told Al-Akhbar that the military tension between the Yemeni Armed Forces and the American and British navies has escalated to the highest levels over the past 48 hours, describing it as an “open naval war.”
Numerous explosions were reported off the coasts of Khokha, Mokha, and Khor Omaira, across the Bab Al-Mandab strait.
Commercial ship traffic was stopped for hours because of the clashes.
Another naval source in Sanaa revealed to Al-Akhbar that “the Yemeni naval operations carried out in recent hours bear significant implications and reflect the extent of the military capabilities of the Sanaa forces.”
The source explained that the Yemeni Armed Forces operation targeting “Orion” in the Indian Ocean this week involved advanced aircraft and occurred at the furthest point to west of Madagascar in the southern Indian Ocean, a significant development that will have significant repercussions on the Zionist entity’s commercial ships coming through the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa to the ports of the zionist entity.
