According to a statement released by Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the Minerva Gracht freighter was accurately targeted after the parent company violated a decision to ban docking in Israeli ports.
Surry confirmed that the strike could cause a direct hit, cause a fire inside the ship, and put them at risk of sinking.
He emphasized that Yemeni operations are part of an unwavering commitment to supporting the oppressed Palestinians towards “crimes of the century.”
A military spokesman repeated that Yemeni forces would continue their operations until the attacks halted and the siege of Gaza was lifted.
He further declared that naval blockades on Israel in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Bab el Mandeb and the Gulf of Aden were in full effect.
Sally also updated warnings to all shipping companies and vessels about the consequences of violating the lockdown, highlighting that further strikes will follow the violation.
Yemenis declared their open support for the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation since the administration launched a devastating war with Gaza on October 7th, after the territorial Palestinian resistance campaign carried out a retaliatory attack that had deprived history.
