According to “Sputnik” news agency, it is further stated in this statement: “Cargo ship Clara also reported an explosion in the waters near its location in the south of the Red Sea.”
Centcom also added: “There have been no reports of casualties in these two incidents in the south of the Red Sea.”
Previously, American Defense Minister Lloyd Austin had announced that a coalition of 10 countries had been formed to counter the operations of the Yemeni army against Zionist ships in the Red Sea.
After the extensive attacks of the Zionist army on the Gaza Strip, the Yemeni army has been able to attack several Israeli ships or ships destined for the occupied territories in support of the Palestinian people.
In recent weeks, in parallel with the intensification of the Israeli regime’s attacks against Gaza, the Yemeni army has narrowed the field on Israeli ships that intend to pass through the Bab al-Mandab strait in the Red Sea and has already targeted the occupied Palestinian lands and specifically the port with drones and missiles. It has targeted Eilat.
40% of the world’s international trade is carried out through this strait, which passes between Yemen, at the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, and the African continent.
