Ansarullah: Targeting ships is a serious message to shipping companies.
Al-Bakhiti stressed that the operation to attack the ships is being carried out within the framework of pressure on the Zionist regime to stop the aggression on Gaza, and that these measures will continue until the Israeli attacks end.
These statements come after Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, issued a statement on Wednesday afternoon, saying: “In order to support the oppressed Palestinian people and support their heroic fighters, the Yemeni Navy targeted the commercial ship (ETERNITY C) that was heading towards the port of Umm al-Rishrash in occupied Palestine with a missile and six cruise and ballistic missiles. This operation resulted in the complete sinking of the ship, and the operation was fully documented with audio and video.”
He said: “Following this operation, a special unit of the Yemeni Navy was dispatched to rescue a number of the ship’s crew and after providing them with basic medical care, they were transferred to a safe place.”
The Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman emphasized in the statement that the said ship and its owner company have once again attempted to navigate this route in clear violation of the decision to prohibit interaction with the Umm al-Rishrash port, and have also ignored the warnings and messages of the Yemeni Navy.
Yahya Saree once again emphasized the continuation of the blockade of the Israeli regime’s maritime traffic in the waters of the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, and warned that all companies that interact with the ports of occupied Palestine will be targeted, regardless of the location or route of their ships.
The statement stated that these military actions are an attempt to force the Israeli regime and its supporters to lift the siege of Gaza, stop the aggressions, and end the blatant genocide against the Palestinian people.
The Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman also emphasized the continuation of its military operations in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their noble resistance until the complete end of the aggression and the lifting of the siege of Gaza.
