Yahya Saree, the spokesperson of the Yemeni National Army, announced about the attack on American destroyers in a statement on Tuesday night quoted by Al-Masirah network website.
“The Naval forces, Missile forces, and air forces of the Yemeni armed forces, with the help of God, carried out a qualitative military operation in which they targeted two American warship destroyers in the Red Sea,”, Saree said.
The operation was carried out with a number of naval missiles and drones, he said adding that the Yemeni armed forces will not hesitate to expand their operations against all hostile targets in response to the calls of the Yemeni nation to provide support and assistance to the Palestinians, who until this moment are being subjected to aggression and siege.
The spokesman reiterated that the Yemeni operation will not stop until the aggression stops and the siege imposed on the Palestinians in Gaza Strip is lifted.
There were no immediate reports of any damage caused to the warships by Yemeni drones and missiles
Yemeni forces launched their operations against Israeli or Israeli-bound ships in the Red Sea but over the past month, they have intensified attack on US and British ships in retaliation for the two countries’ aggression against Yemen.
Yemen’s military and government officials have repeatedly warned Washington and London that their actions would not go unanswered, saying Yemen reserves the right to respond to any aggression against its sovereignty.
Yemen's Defense Minister, Major General Mohammad Nasser Al-Atefi, recently said that his country is not afraid of the US and that it will not stop its operations unless the massacre of the Palestinian people in Gaza is stopped.
