ALBAWABA- In a new statement, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced the execution of three military operations, including the targeting of the British oil tanker Cordelia Moon with a cruise missile in the Indian Ocean. 

Two additional operations targeted the tanker Marathopolis for violating a ban by its owning company against entering ports in occupied Palestine.

Saree also confirmed that Houthi forces conducted military actions across the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea. 

He warned that these operations will continue as part of a naval blockade on Israel until the attacks on Gaza and Lebanon cease.

Additionally, the Houthis claimed responsibility for shooting down their 11th U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone in Yemen over the past eleven months. 

They also launched a Sammad-4 suicide drone targeting Israel's Eilat last night, further escalating tensions in the region.
