What follows is full text of the statement:

By the grace and guidance of Allah, the Yemeni Armed Forces successfully targeted the Saudi enemy’s oil tanker “Amzan” in the northern Red Sea, off the coast of Yanbu, using a ballistic missile, the strike was precise and direct, resulting in a fire broke out on the ship and the escape of several other vessels were in the targeted area.

This targeting comes within the framework of implementing the Armed Forces’ decision to impose a maritime ban on the Saudi enemy and to reinforce the equation of “a siege for a siege”.

In another development, the Yemeni Armed Forces, by the grace of Allah, successfully carried out two military operations of which the first targeted a Saudi military convoy, consisting of a large convoy loaded with military equipment, in the Al-Abr and Al-Wadi’ah areas using ballistic missiles and drones, resulting in the burning and destruction of more than ten trucks loaded with weapons that were coming from Saudi territory to target the Yemeni people.

The second operation targeted Saudi enemy forces in the Al-Kanais area with ballistic missiles and drones, which resulted in the death and injury of dozens, including commanders and officers, and the burning and destruction of several weapons depots.

The armed forces, with Allah’s help, continue to impose a maritime blockade on the Saudi enemy within the declared ​​operation zone, implementing the equation of “a siege for a siege” and a comprehensive escalation with a comprehensive escalation.

We are prepared, by Allah’s power, to confront any escalation with stronger and more intense strikes and broader and larger operations.

The Yemeni Armed Forces, while congratulating our great Yemeni people and our Arab and Islamic nation on the occasion of the Prophet’s birthday (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), call upon the people of our dear, valiant country, the people of faith and wisdom, the people of Yemen, to participate honorably in commemorating this great occasion in all designated areas tomorrow, Allah’s willing.
