Yemeni Ballistic Missile Hits Saudi Oil Ship, Forces It to Back Off

The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces General Yahya Saree announced a new operation in the context of consecrating the siege-for-siege formula against KSA.

General Saree affirmed that a Yemeni ballistic missile hit the Saudi oil tanker “Daisy” in the Gulf of Aden, forcing it to back off.

What follows is the full text of the statement:

With the help of Allah, the Yemeni Armed Forces managed to target the Saudi oil tanker “Daisy” in the Gulf of Aden with a ballistic missile. The operation achieved its objective successfully, thanks to Allah. The vessel was hit and forced to turn back.

This targeting comes within the framework of enforcing the decision to impose a maritime navigation ban on the Saudi enemy, under the equation of “siege for siege.”

The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that they are closely monitoring all movements of Saudi oil tankers and will not allow any vessel to pass, whether from the south of the Red Sea or the north of it, until the legitimate demands of our people are met and the siege on them is lifted.
