SANAA, Jul 16 (NNN-SABA) – The Houthis yesterday said, it carried out three military operations targeting three ships in the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea, using ballistic missiles, drones, and unmanned boats.
The first operation targeted the “BENTLEY I ship” in the Red Sea, using several ballistic missiles, bomb-laden drones, and unmanned boats, Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, said in a statement, aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.
The second operation targeted “the oil tanker, CHIOS Lion,” in the Red Sea, using bomb-laden drones, he said in the statement.
“The third operation was carried out by our forces in cooperation with the Iraqi Islamic Resistance in the Mediterranean Sea, and targeted ‘the ship, Olvia,’ and the hit was accurate,” the Houthi spokesperson added, vowing for more attacks to come.
