Yemeni Forces Target Israeli Ship in ‘Direct’ Hit

 A senior Yemeni official on Monday warned the U.S., UK and the Zionist regime that new surprises are on the way.
Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, a member of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, wrote on his personal account in X that different options are being considered and surprises are on the way to provide support for the oppressed people of Gaza.
Noting that they have high patience, he said that they attach no significance to “dwarfs”.
Yemen began a string of attacks against Israeli and Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea several weeks ago in retaliation to the occupying regime’s crimes against Gazan people.
The Arab country has pledged to keep its maritime siege against the Zionist regime as long as the war in Gaza continues.
An Israeli-owned container ship was targeted in the Gulf of Aden, media sources said on Monday.
Yemen’s military spokesman Yahya Saree said the country’s navy carried out a military operation in the southeast of Aden, in which the Israeli ship “MSC SKY” was targeted.
“Our navy targeted this ship in the Gulf of Aden by using appropriate sea missiles, and by the grace of God, the attack was accurate and direct,” he said.
He said the attack took place hours after a unique operation was carried out using a number of ballistic missiles and drones against several American warships in the Red Sea.
Reuters cited the British maritime security company Embry as saying that the Liberia-flagged and Israel-affiliated ship was targeted 88 miles away from Aden.
Embry stated that it is not clear if this ship was directly targeted or if it was damaged by explosions nearby.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said that it had received a report of an incident 91 nautical miles southeast of the Yemeni city of Aden.
On Saturday, a cargo ship abandoned in the southern Red Sea after an attack by Yemeni forces sank after days of taking on water, according to officials.
The Belize-flagged, United Kingdom-owned cargo ship, was carrying more than 41,000 tonnes of fertilizer and had leaked oil for several days after it came under attack.
Yemen’s internationally recognized government, in a statement on Saturday, said the ship sank “last night, coinciding with weather factors and strong winds at sea”.
Rubymar’s sinking marks the first vessel lost since Yemen began targeting commercial shipping linked to the Zionist regime in November. The ship was hit by missiles on February 18 while sailing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The crew then abandoned the vessel and evacuated to safety.
Ansarullah – which says it has been targeting ships linked to Israel, the U.S. and the UK in an attempt to pressure them to end Israel’s war on Gaza – claimed responsibility for the attack.
Muhammad Ali al-Houthi said that the group held UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and
his government responsible for the vessel sinking because of their support for the “genocide” and “siege” in Gaza.
On Thursday, Ansarullah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said the Americans and the British have received “painful blows” from the Yemeni armed forces in retaliation.
“The American and British attacks have not affected our military power in any way. On the contrary, the process of increasing and expanding our attacks continues.
“The Americans are now admitting their failure to achieve their aggressive goals against our country and are surprised by our strength,” he said.
