Sana'a: The naval force of the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted the ship ETERNITY C, which was en route to the port of Umm al-Rashrash in occupied Palestine. The operation was executed using an unmanned boat along with six cruise and ballistic missiles, resulting in the complete sinking of the vessel. The incident was documented with both audio and video evidence.
According to Yemen News Agency, following the attack, a specialized unit from the Yemeni Navy undertook a rescue mission for the ship's crew, providing medical assistance and relocating them to a safe area. The attack on ETERNITY C came after its owning company resumed operations with the port of Umm al-Rashrash, defying a ban on such activities. Furthermore, the ship ignored repeated warnings and communications from the Yemeni Navy, prompting the armed response.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have reiterated their commitment to halting Israeli shipping activities in the Red and Arabian Seas. They have issued stern warnings to companies engaging with ports in occupied Palestine, emphasizing that any ships and crews involved will be targeted wherever the Yemeni Armed Forces are capable of reaching, irrespective of the ships' intended destinations.
The Yemeni Armed Forces' stance is to deter companies and nations from engaging with the Zionist entity and from dispatching their ships to the occupied Palestinian ports. This position is part of a broader strategy to pressure the Zionist adversary and its allies into lifting the blockade on Gaza, halting aggression, and ceasing the war of extermination in full view of the international community.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have underscored their commitment to ongoing military operations in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their resilient resistance. They aim to continue these efforts until the aggression against Gaza ceases and the blockade is lifted.
