ALBAWABA- The Houthi Military Spokesperson has issued a new statement confirming that the naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces executed a military operation targeting an American ship in the Gulf of Aden using an appropriate number of naval missiles.

 Saree asserts that the Yemeni Armed Forces categorize all American and British ships, as well as military units participating in the aggression against their country, as hostile targets within the scope of their forces' objectives.

The Yemeni Armed Forces assert that a response to American and British attacks is inevitable, emphasizing that any new aggression will not go unanswered and will face retaliation.

Continuing their military operations, the Yemeni Armed Forces upheld the decision to prevent Israeli navigation in the Arabian and Red Seas until the cessation of aggression and the lifting of the blockade on the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Emphasizing the ongoing trade movements in the Arabian and Red Seas to all destinations except the ports of occupied Palestine, the Yemeni Armed Forces continue to undertake defensive and offensive measures within their right of defense to confront the American-British aggression.
