The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that the "naval forces carried out an operation targeting the Israeli ship (Pacific 01) in the Red Sea using several appropriate naval missiles, while the drone forces conducted an operation targeting an American destroyer in the Red Sea with several drones, and the operation successfully achieved its objectives."
Additionally, the Yemeni Armed Forces stated that they "carried out three operations against three Israeli and American ships in the Indian Ocean using several appropriate naval missiles and drones, and all three operations successfully achieved their objectives."
The forces indicated that "in implementation of the directives of the Leader, Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, in support of the oppressed Palestinian people facing aggression, the Yemeni Armed Forces have begun, with God's help, to expand the scope of their military operations against Israeli ships, or those linked to Israel, or heading to the ports of occupied Palestine, to include the Indian Ocean route around the Cape of Good Hope."
They warned "all Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine or coming from there to avoid passing through the Cape of Good Hope; otherwise, they will be considered legitimate targets for our armed forces."
