The Yemeni military forces targeted three ships in the Red and Arabian Seas as part of the operations in support of Gaza and also in retaliation for the US-UK aggression on Yemen.
The first operation was carried out by the missile force of Yemen’s Army against the Verbena cargo ship in the Arabian Sea, Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said on Thursday, confirming that the vessel was hit, leading to a fire on board.

In the second and third operations, the SeaGuardian and Athina vessels came under attack in the Red Sea by Yemeni ballistic missiles and drones, and were directly hit, the spokesperson added, Al Mayadeen reported.
