<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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). </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Shipping companies that have breached the embargo have also been
reportedly warned against sailing in Yemeni waters in communications. </p>

<h2>UKMTO confirms USV impact into unnamed vessel</h2>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This is the second time that a Yemeni USV strikes a vessel off the country's coast this month. The first operation saw two <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemeni-forces-showcase-toophan-usv-that-sunk-israeli-affilia#:~:text=Specifications%20of%20Yemen%27s%20Toophan%2D1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toophan-1</a> USVs burst a total of 300 kg explosive payloads into the MV Tutor on June 12, which sunk at a later time. </p>
<p>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. </p>
