The Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesperson specifies that the warship was involved in providing logistical support for the US forces waging aggression against Yemen.

Tehran-ISNA- The spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced in a statement earlier this morning that Yemen targeted US Navy warship Lewis B Puller sailing through the Gulf of Aden yesterday evening.

Saree specified that the warship was involved in providing logistical support for the US forces waging aggression against Yemen, among other missions.

"The operation is part of the military measures taken by the Yemeni Armed Forces in defense of the Yemeni people and as part of the commitment to support the oppressed Palestinian people," Saree added.

Concluding his statement, Saree reaffirmed the YAF's commitment to enforce a blockade on Israeli navigation in the Red Sea until a ceasefire is achieved in Gaza and the siege enforced on the people of Gaza is lifted.
