Statement by the #Yemeni Armed Forces regarding the implementation of three military operations.
-The first targeted an #American#destroyer in the #RedSea.
-The second targeted the CAPTAIN PARIS ship also in the Red Sea.
-And the third targeted the Happy Condor ship in the Arabian Sea.
🔶️ The two ships were targeted because the companies that owned them violated the decision to ban entry to Ports of occupied Palestine.
Sinking is the fate of ships that have been targeted in the past 72 hours for violating the ban on access to the ports of occupied Palestine.
The Verbena ship sinks in the Gulf of Aden after being hit by a number of missiles.
The TUTOR ship, which was targeted by a drone boat and a number of ballistic #missiles and #drones, is in danger of sinking in the coming hours.
This operation is dedicated by the Yemeni armed forces to our mujahid brothers in #Gaza on the occasion of Eid al-Adha and victory, and in recognition of their steadfastness and jihad, may God protect them and to all the free people of the Palestinian nation. It is only from God

#Yemen has shot down another American multi million dollar MQ-9 drone
Us have lost more #drones in Yemen than any other conflict in it's history. Their home made SAM's based on Iranian design has been a deadly blow to American military in the region.

#FarhanHaq, a #UN spokesperson, said the new smaller numbers reflected those bodies which had been fully identified. The bigger figures included corpses for whom identification has so far not been completed.
"If we're shooting down a $50,000 one-way #drone with a $3 million #missile, that's not a good cost equation," Bill LaPlante, the #Pentagon's chief weapons buyer, told a Senate appropriations subcommittee on Wednesday. #RedSea#Houthis#Israel#Gaza
🇾🇪 Vice President of the #Ansarallah Media Authority, Nasr El-Din Amer:
—
The first victory achieved by America and Britain is the removal of blue checks from the [Twitter] accounts of state leaders in Sana'a. As for the [Yemeni] Armed Forces, rockets, drones, and all military capabilities, they have not reached them.
It turns out America is a force that should not be underestimated, brothers.
🔴 The #SuezCanal, the primary maritime route between #Asia and #Europe, experienced a 50 percent year-over-year decrease in trade volume in the first two months of 2024 due to #Houthi attacks in the #RedSea area, according to the #IMF
Dumbarton Oaks public lecture tomorrow (Thursday): "India on the Red Sea: The Early Byzantine Awareness of East Africa and South Arabia," by Ben Garstad
Free. 6-7 PM ET on Zoom
Ben is an erudite scholar and an animated speaker -this is sure to be an interesting (and timely) lecture!
A cruise missile launched by the #Houthis into the Red Sea on Tuesday night came within a mile of a US destroyer before it was shot down, four US officials told CNN, the closest a Houthi attack has come to a US warship.
How the observer regards the #Houthi's current actions in the #RedSea hinges on whether or not they've resulted in spilling the contents of an Exxon Valdez into those waters. Disruptions to trade have adverse effects on everyone from the oligarch bastards who profit from it to the desperate poor who depend upon it for shipments of medicine and food. It's complicated, but spill two or three million barrels of oil into the drink, and shit gets a lot more so.
Why yes, I AM still getting deluged by trolls who are intentionally calling me Pro Genocide after my earlier post.
Thanks for asking.
Adding: I did not take a stand on anything other than to stop calling Biden "pro genocide," and saying that disagreement with his policies is fine by me & that I don't discuss that war in my feed... because of... this kind of reaction by trolls and others who are trolls in training, apparently.
#GeoPol
Oops, I do take stands against or pro both sides, as I feel appropriate.
The subject is too important and the conflict helps #Russia, #Iran, and the #Houthis, among others,
and makes matters worse for the #Palestinians, the #Jewish people globally, and the #Ukrainians, in particular.
