Ansarallah Maintains Resistance, US and Zionist Regime Rampage Continues
The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) engaged in an hours-long battle with United States Navy vessels in the Red Sea, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated.
Saree underscored that this is the third round of clashes between the YAF and US vessels by the YAF in the past 24 hours. He explained that in the latest round of confrontations, the YAF’s branches, including the Rocket Force, Navy, and the Unmanned Air Force, fired multiple cruise missiles and one-way attack drones at American vessels.
Emphasizing that Yemeni operations against US Navy vessels will continue, the general stated that the attacks will intensify progressively.
“The Armed Forces’ operations against the Zionist enemy—blocking its navigation in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea and targeting its military and vital facilities—aim to halt the genocide against the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza, which continues in full view of Arabs, Muslims, and the entire world,” the statement underlined.
“These operations will not stop until the aggression against Gaza ends and the siege is lifted,” Saree concluded.
Earlier on Tuesday and amid ongoing US aggression against Yemen, which has resulted in dozens of civilian casualties, the YAF targeted the hostile American MQ-9 drone over the Marib governorate using a domestically manufactured surface-to-air missile.
The strike marks the 16th confirmed downing of an MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) by the YAF since the Zionist aggression on Gaza began in late 2023. The successful strike also meant that this is the 20th overall US-operated MQ-9 drone downed by the Yemeni Armed Forces. including during the period of the US-backed war on Yemen.
Although the US has relentlessly bombarded Yemen for weeks in an effort to break Sanaa’s support for the Palestinian people, Yemeni forces continue their retaliatory strikes. The latest US raids targeted a school and a health center in Saada governorate, highlighting the devastating humanitarian toll of Washington’s ongoing military campaign. At the same time, Washington is rapidly amassing military assets across the region—not only to sustain its campaign against Yemen but also to escalate pressure on Iran.
The Yemeni military media also released footage documenting the moment the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) shot down an American MQ-9 drone, along with images of its wreckage.
The US drone was downed by Yemeni air defenses using a domestically produced surface-to-air missile while it was conducting hostile operations over Marib province in northeastern Yemen on March 31.

The operation marks the 16th confirmed downing of an MQ-9 UAV by the YAF since the Israeli aggression on Gaza began in late 2023.
Saree stressed that the YAF will continue to bar Zionist-affiliated vessels from sailing in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. He also reaffirmed Yemen’s steadfast position of supporting the Palestinian people until the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip is halted.
As for the continued American aggression on Yemen, the spokesperson asserted that the YAF will not hesitate when it comes to executing defensive operations against hostile vessels in the coming days.
