The Shiite Ansarullah movement, commonly known as the Houthis, which governs northern Yemen, has announced details of a recent operation at sea targeting an Israeli vessel in the Gulf of Aden. The claim came from a representative of the Houthi armed forces, Yahya Saria, who spoke on the record about the incident and its broader implications. In reporting on the event, the core assertion is that a coordinated naval, drone, and missile unit under the Houthis executed a synchronized strike against the Israeli ship MSC UNIFIC in the Gulf of Aden, employing ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial systems as the primary weapons. The statement emphasizes the mixed use of high‑tech platforms and conventional munitions in what was described as a joint assault.
