using anti-ship and cruise missiles, the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF)
announced on Sunday afternoon.

The spokesperson of the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said that the
operations were conducted in a span of 72 hours prior to the release of a
statement, detailing the YAF's operations .
Three cargo ships targeted by the YAF

The first ship targeted by the YAF's Navy was the UK-owned Hope Island
cargo ship, which was struck using naval missiles and dealt a direct hit in
the Red Sea. The last updated position of the Hope Island was two days ago,
heading southwards toward the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Another series of operations targeted two Israeli-affiliated ships, heading
to Israeli ports in Palestine. The first, the MSC GRACE F, was targeted in
the Indian Ocean, while the second, the MSC GINA, was targeted in the
Arabian Sea. In both operations, the Yemeni Armed Forces utilized anti-ship
ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, successfully achieving their
intended objectives.

According to maritime tracking websites, the last updated position of the
MSC GRACE F was in East Africa, reported 154 days ago. As for the MSC GINA,
its last updated position was near Sri Lanka 11 days ago.

It is worth noting that "Israel"-affiliated ships have attempted to conceal
their activity in the region, by turning off communication and identifying
equipment.

Saree reiterated that the operations came in support of the Palestinian
people and their Resistance.

Recently, the YAF, following the directives of Ansar Allah leader, Sayyed

expanded the scope of their naval operations to the Indian Ocean, hoping to
further restrict the movement of Israeli-affiliated ships, traveling to
occupied ports via the Cape of Good Hope route.

Saree promised that the YAF would continue to conduct its operations in the
aforementioned waterways until the aggression on the Gaza Strip is stopped
and the Israeli siege on the Palestinian people is lifted.
