Sana'a - (Saba):
In support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their mujahideen, and in response to the ongoing war of genocide against our people in Gaza.
The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting a military target in the vicinity of Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied region of Yaffa with a "Zulfiqar" ballistic missile.
For the second consecutive month, the armed forces continue to effectively and responsibly confront the US aggression against our country.
As promised, they will respond to escalation with escalation.
The missile force, the unmanned air force, and the naval forces carried out a dual military operation targeting the US aircraft carriers Truman and Vinson, as well as their affilate warships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, with a number of cruise missiles and drones.
This is the first targeting of the Vinson since its arrival in the Arabian Sea.
Our air defenses successfully shot down an American MQ-9 drone while carrying out hostile actions in the airspace of Sana'a Governorate, using a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile.
This is the fifth such attack in the space of three weeks, and the 20th during the Battle of the Promised Victory and the Holy Jihad in support of Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm the following:
First: The American military buildup and the continued aggression against our country will only lead to further confrontation, targeting, engagement, and confrontation.
They will only push Yemen, with its proud people and faithful leadership, to greater steadfastness and unwavering support for the oppressed Palestinian people.
Second: The enemy will reap nothing from escalating its aggression against our country except for disappointment, failure, and defeat.
Its recently arrived aircraft carrier will not achieve what five previous carriers, which the armed forces successfully confronted, pursued, and forced to leave, failed to achieve.
Third: Dear, free, and independent Yemen will not back down from continuing its support operations for the Palestinian people until the Israeli aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.
