The Yemeni Armed Forces struck an Israeli-affiliated merchant ship in the
Red Sea using a flurry of unmanned aerial and surface vehicles, as well as
anti-ship missiles, the spokesperson for the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya
Saree, announced on Thursday evening.

Saree said that the YAF conducted two operations, the first of which was a
joint operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, in which several
cruise missiles were launched toward a vital Israeli site in occupied
Haifa.

The second attack was conducted by the YAF's Unammaned Air Force, Rocket
Force, and Navy. The operation targeted the SEAJOY bulk carrier in the Red
Sea, via several suicide drones, anti-ship missiles, and an unmanned
surface vehicle (USV).

SEAJOY was attacked by the YAF as part of the Yemeni force's implementation
of its embargo on the Israeli occupation and Israeli-affiliated entities.

The company that owns SEAJOY had breached the embargo imposed by the YAF,
an action that deemed it among blacklisted vessels, a process that the
spokesperson had publicly outlined on several occasions.

Shipping companies that have breached the embargo have also been reportedly
warned against sailing in Yemeni waters in communications.

UKMTO confirms USV impact into unnamed vessel

Earlier on Thursday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO)
had reported on an incident on an attack on an unnamed vessel that had
taken place 83 nautical miles southwest of al-Hodeidah Yemen.

According to the report a waterborne USV had detonated into the vessel. The
report cites a third party, which claims that the vessel is still
operational and is proceeding to its next port call.

On the other hand, Saree stressed that YAF will continue to conduct joint
operations with the Iraqi Resistance, reaffirming what he had set out in
previous statements regarding the operations of Israeli-affiliated vessels
and other vessels in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean.

This is the second time that a Yemeni USV strikes a vessel off the
country's coast this month. The first operation saw two Toophan-1

USVs burst a total of 300 kg explosive payloads into the MV Tutor on June
12, which sunk at a later time.

The YAF conducted these operations as a show of proactive support to the
besieged Palestinian people and their Resistance, which has come under an
unprecedented war launched by the Israeli occupation, since October last
year.
