Yemeni armed forces have recently conducted successful military operations targeting six ships in the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea, including two US destroyers. The operations, utilizing ballistic missiles and drones, were aimed at vessels linked to the US and Britain. This action is part of a broader campaign initiated on October 7, 2023, against vessels associated with Israel along critical maritime trade routes. The resulting disruptions have led to major shipping companies rerouting around Africa instead of using the Suez Canal. In response, the US and its allies have launched airstrikes on Yemen, prompting Yemen to declare US and British ships as legitimate targets. The Yemeni military vows to continue these operations in solidarity with Palestinians enduring hostilities and a siege in Gaza.
