The Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen announced late on February 1 that they attacked a British commercial ship in the Red Sea that was heading to “the ports of occupied Palestine.”
“In victory for the oppression of the Palestinian people and as part of a response to the American-British aggression against our country, the naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted a British commercial ship in the Red Sea that was heading to the ports of occupied Palestine with appropriate naval missiles,” Houthi military spokesman, Brigade General Yahya Saree, said in a statement.
“The operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Arabian Sea and Red Sea against Israeli shipping or ships heading to the ports of occupied Palestine will continue until the aggression stops and the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted,” he added.
Earlier, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a detachment of the Royal Navy, said in an advisory note that an explosion was reported at a distance off a vessel’s starboard side west of Yemen’s Hodeidah. The vessel and crew were reported safe by the UKMTO.
The attack came just hours after the United States Central Command carried out two waves of strikes on Yemen’s Sa’dah and al-Hudaydah, targeting a ground-to-air missile and suicide drones of the Houthis.
The command also announced the interception of a drone over the Gulf of Aden and an “explosive uncrewed surface vehicle” in the Red Sea.
The Houthis have targeted dozens of Israel-affiliated vessels and others owned by the U.S. and the UK using missiles and drones since November 19 in response to the ongoing Israeli war and siege on Gaza, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 26,000 Palestinians.
The U.S. and the UK retaliated by carrying out dozens of strikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen in recent weeks. However, the group remains undeterred.
je smutné, že zatiaľ stále nie je vytvorená veľká koalícia proti okupantom palestíny. br osn zlyhala pri ochrane práv palestínskeho ľudu a tak je oprávnený otvorený boj za slobodu palestíny. svetu mier!!!
england deserves to be sunk to the bottom of the atlantic ocean
to the bottom of the red sea should be enough!
how about send us some nuland cookies as aid so we can depose the criminal cartel occupying the countries of the uk and get reet with jesus again. that would be nice.
i can assure you the tory government is sinking england quicker than you think: not content with supporting the war in ukraine and attacking yemen they’re about to kick off trouble in ireland.
i hope the british national party does well in the general election, and other local elections in the constituencies where they have candidates.
the earthly power of the great satan and the little satan has done little to deter the hiuthies. but if the satans succeed in globalism the earth itself may well become hell
wow someone gets it. the goal of the racist supremacist global jewish satanic askhenazi slave empire dictatorship is to create hell on earth to please their lord satan and their anti-christ when they rebuild their satanic temple after they destroy the al-aqsa mosque so their anti christ can rule the earth. read about it in the talmud.
our brothers did well…
it would be a fair game for the russian to provide some “assistance” and boosted warhead to yemenites…
i wonder if zalenski is selling them the weapons lol
the fake thallocracy must beg for taco from biden
the toothless benny hill pedovores on pirate rock imagine they are a military power almost a century after the $lumvillains stole their plundered empire. it’s delightful to watch the fun loving houthi brothers whack these in-bred, gone-to-seed snaggle-toothed clowns as they flounder out of their depth in the all new new world order. meanwhile the colonials are slashing the last of the brits on damp, soggy pirate rock
