Pentagon Confirms Yemen Attacks Against US Destroyers

13 Nov 2024 - 18:28

After the recent remarks of the spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces regarding Yemen's successful operation against several American destroyers, the US Department of Defense acknowledged the successful attack by the Yemeni armed forces.


The Pentagon claims to have "repelled" the attacks of the Yemeni armed forces.

Pentagon claimed in its statement: "Today and yesterday, our forces repelled multiple attacks by the Houthis against 2 American destroyers that were passing through the Bab al-Mandab strait."
In another part of the statement of the US Department of Defense, it is stated: "The Houthis (Yemen's armed forces) have attacked 2 destroyers with at least eight drones, five ballistic missiles and three cruise missiles."
Referring to the developments in Gaza and Lebanon, the Pentagon claimed in its statement: "It is very important that more humanitarian aid reaches the people of Gaza. "We want to find a solution to the Lebanese issue as soon as possible through diplomatic channels."
The Pentagon claims that the Yemeni armed forces' attacks have been repelled. A few hours ago, Yahya Saree, the spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces, announced that this group conducted two special military operations in the Red Sea that lasted for eight hours.
He said that in the first operation, the "Abraham" aircraft carrier, which was ready to attack Yemen, was targeted by several guided missiles and drones in the Red Sea.
Saree added that America's intention to attack Yemen through this attack failed.
The spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces stated that in the second operation, two American destroyers were targeted by missiles and drones in the Red Sea.
He said that the Yemeni armed forces are responsible for the transformation of the Red Sea into a region of military tension and its consequences on shipping.
Saree emphasized that the attack on Yemen is in the framework of the defense of the United States and the United Kingdom against the Zionist regime and will only lead to more operations by Ansarullah.
He said that the operation of Ansarullah would stop only if the attacks on Gaza stop, and the blockade is lifted and the attacks on Lebanon stop.
