The US forces confirmed on Saturday the escalation of Yemeni operations in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden during the past 72 hours. This comes following a speech by the leader of Ansar Allah, Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, in which he threatened to expand the scope of attacks in terms of quantity and type.
Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
The US Central Command has issued five statements since Thursday evening.
The statements reveal details of Yemeni operations claimed by US forces to have been repelled some of them.
Yemeni forces carried out around 32 attacks with ballistic missiles and drones, and the total number of naval missiles reached 18 missiles, along with approximately 14 drones, according to American statements.
This quantity of missiles and drones, which the US forces claim to have intercepted or destroyed, indicates that the scale of attacks in the past few hours is much larger than what America usually admits. This is often due to logistical reasons and the morale support of its forces deployed in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
These statements reveal the extent of the confrontations taking place in the Red Sea, carried out by Yemen against American and British battleships and ships.
They also reflect an escalation in the pace of Yemeni operations despite the ongoing US-British airstrikes since January 11.
It is worth mentioning that the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, affirmed in his recent speeches to expand the scope of operations, both in terms of quantity and type, as part of the pressure to lift the blockade and halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
