The Yemen’s Houthis announced today that its forces carried out five operations in the past 72 hours, according to the Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e.

In statements Sunday, Sare’e said that the first operation was carried out against the British ship (Hope Island) in the Red Sea with a number of suitable naval missiles, and was directly hit.

The other operations were “against two Israeli ships that were heading to the ports of occupied Palestine, the first (MSC GRACE F) in the Indian Ocean and the other (MSC GINA) in the Arabian Sea. The operation was carried out with a number of ballistic and winged missiles, achieving its objectives successfully” - according to the statement.

The Houthis also targeted a number of American military frigates in the Red Sea, using a number of drones, and the operations have successfully achieved their objectives, per Yahya Sare’e.

Since October 19, The Houthis have been targeting vessels linked with “Israel” in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which has been ravaged by the “Israeli” aggression since Oct. 7, 2023.

In response, the US and the UK started carrying out strikes against Houthis targets to “protect freedom of navigation” - per their expression.

Afterwards, the Houthis declared American and British ships and interests to be legitimate targets as well.

"We will persist in upholding our religious, moral and humanitarian duties towards the Palestinian people, and our military operations will not stop unless the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted," Houthis Military Spokesperson Sare’e said.
