A clash occurred today between a number of American destroyers and warships in the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab while they were protecting two American commercial ships. The result of the clash was as follows:

-A direct hit on an American vessel.
- Forcing the two American commercial vessels to withdraw and return.

-Several of our ballistic missiles struck their targets despite warships' attempts to intercept them.

The Yemeni military forces used a number of ballistic missiles during  more than two-hour clashes.

Yemeni Armed Forces persist with their military operations: enforcing a blockade on Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian seas until a ceasefire is achieved in Gaza, and the imposed siege is lifted.
