YAF Down F/A-18, Hit Vital ‘Israeli’ Military Sites

By Staff, Agencies

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces [YAF] Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced a significant escalation in Yemen's ongoing defense campaign.

Saree further unveiled that that YAF carried out a precision drone operation targeting the US aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson and its escort warships in the Arabian Sea.

"We carried out a military operation targeting the US aircraft carrier Vinson and several of its accompanying warships in the Arabian Sea," the spokesman declared.

"The operation against the Vinson and its escort vessels was executed using multiple drones," he added.

The bold move came just one day after what Saree described as a victorious confrontation with another US carrier group.

"The targeting of the Vinson came 24 hours after the blessed operation that forced the US aircraft carrier Truman to retreat," he stated, noting that “The blessed operation forced Truman to withdraw to the far northern Red Sea toward the Suez Canal.”

In parallel, Saree underlined that “Among the results of the blessed operation against Truman was the downing of an F-18 fighter jet and the foiling of an aerial attack the enemy had begun executing against our country."

"Another outcome of the blessed operation was the pursuit of the Truman with missiles and drones all the way to the far north of the Red Sea."

The Resistance did not limit its response to American aggression. Saree also confirmed a dual drone operation targeting strategic positions inside occupied Palestine.

"We carried out a dual military operation targeting vital and military sites of the 'Israeli' enemy in the occupied Yafa area using three Yafa-type drones," he said. "We also carried out a military operation against a vital target of the 'Israeli' enemy in the occupied Askalan [Ashkelon] area using a 'Yafa'-type drone."

The spokesperson reaffirmed Yemen's steadfast position in the face of imperial aggression, "We affirm to our people and the free people of our nation that, with God's help, we are capable of standing firm and confronting the enemy despite its capabilities and resources."
