Armed Forces Target Two Saudi Oil Tankers
and in confirmation of the right of our great people to confront Saudi-American injustice and tyranny and to reclaim their wealth and legitimate rights.
The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting two Saudi oil tankers that violated the blockade imposed by the Armed Forces in the Red Sea.
One tanker was named “ENCELIA” and the other is “LAYLA.”
The operation was carried out by a number of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones.
The strikes were precise, thanks to Allah’s grace and assistance, and resulted in a large fire broke out on both vessels.
In the same context, the Yemeni Armed Forces forced approximately ten ships to retreat and return.
The Armed Forces will continue their naval operations against the Saudi enemy and will persist in enforcing the “A siege for a siege” equation.
We affirm to the Saudi enemy that any folly or aggression targeting our country will be met with large-scale operations deep within its territory, and the consequences will be dire for it, by Allah’s will and power.
The Armed Forces salute the our great people of Yemen for their honorable demonstrations in the squares and arenas, and assure them of their continued commitment to restoring their rights and lifting the siege imposed on them, by Allah’s will.
