Yemen targets British oil tanker in Red Sea

Tehran, IRNA – A tanker with links to the UK was on fire for several hours in the Gulf of Aden after being hit by a missile fired Yemeni Army, the spokesman for the Armed Forces of Yemen has announced.

According to Al Jazeera news television network, Brigadier General Yahya Saree made the remarks in a statement on Saturday.

“The naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a targeting operation against a British oil ship (Pollux) in the Red Sea with a large number of appropriate naval missiles, and the strikes were accurate and direct," the statement adds.

“Yemeni Armed Forces persist with their military operations, enforcing a blockade on Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas until a ceasefire is achieved and a siege is lifted in the Gaza Strip."

“The Yemeni armed forces will not hesitate to implement and expand their military operations in defense of beloved Yemen and in confirmation of continued practical solidarity with the Palestinian people.”

The Yemeni army has targeted dozens of Israeli-owned and Israeli-bound ships in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait in support of the resistance of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
