UAV event in Yemen on Thu 14th December 2023

The Yemeni resistance movement Ansarallah announced that it struck with a drone a ship in the Red Sea headed for Israel.

Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e announced in a statement published on Thursday, December 14, that the Yemeni Navy attacked the container ship Maersk Gibralter, which was heading to the Israeli entity.

“In support of the oppressed people of Palestine, who are currently being subjected to killing, destruction, and siege in the Gaza Strip, and in response to the calls of the free people from our great Yemeni nation and our nation’s children, the Naval Forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces,’ with the help of Allah Almighty, carried out a military operation against the container ship Maersk Gibraltar, which was headed to the ‘Israeli’ entity,” Brigadier General Sare’e said. “It was targeted by a drone, and it was directly hit.”

“The operation to strike the ship came after the ship’s crew refused to respond to the calls of the Yemeni Naval Forces,” the statement explained.

It added that over the past 48 hours, the Yemeni forces have prevented several Israel-bound ships from sailing past the coast of Yemen.

Ansarallah has vowed to prevent Israel-bound ships from crossing the Bab al-Mandab Strait until the Zionist regime allows humanitarian aid into the besieged Gaza Strip.
