The Yemeni Armed (YAF) Forces have targeted three American and Israeli-affiliated ships in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The operations, announced by Brigadier General Yahya Saree, resulted in direct hits on the vessels.
In a joint operation in the Arabian Sea, the American ship Maersk Sentosa was struck by ballistic missiles and drones, while the Marthopolis ship was targeted by drones after violating a maritime ban imposed by Yemeni Resistance. Additionally, in the Gulf of Aden, the Israeli MSC Patnaree ship was hit by Yemeni UAVs.

These actions were taken in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in response to US-UK aggression against Yemen. Saree emphasized the Yemeni Armed Forces’ commitment to countering Israeli maritime activity until the siege on Gaza is lifted.
In a separate operation, the YAF cooperated with the Iraqi Islamic Resistance to strike a vital target in Eilat, confirming successful goals achieved. Joint operations between the two groups will continue to support the Palestinian cause.
