Brigadier General Yahya Saree’, the spokesperson for Yemen’s Armed Forces, has announced a recent strike on the US Navy vessel “Lewis B Puller” in the Gulf of Aden. The attack is part of a series of actions intended to compel the United States to cease its aggression against Yemen.

Saree’ stated on Monday, that the targeted vessel, involved in providing logistical support to American forces engaged in the ongoing aggression against Yemen, was a key focus of the operation earlier in the day. He emphasized that this military maneuver aligns with Yemeni armed forces’ commitment to defending their territory and aiding the oppressed people within the country.

Highlighting the broader regional context, the military commander asserted that Yemen will persist in preventing the Zionist regime from benefitting from shipping activities in the Red Sea and the Sea of Oman. This stance will endure until Israeli aggression against Palestine ceases, and the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted, according to Saree’.

In a related development on Sunday, Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior official from Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement, issued a warning that any ground invasion by US and British forces into Yemen would escalate Yemeni attacks in the strategic waters off the country’s west coast.
