Yemeni Army Sinks a New Ship and Rescues Its Crew: Sana’a Sets the Terms and Proves Its Ability to Deter the Entity
In a scene that epitomizes the growing maritime deterrence exerted by Yemen against Israeli occupation, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced today, Wednesday, the execution of a new, high-profile military operation. The operation targeted the vessel ETERNITY C, which belongs to a company that violated the navigation ban on ports of the Zionist entity, succeeding in completely sinking the ship—the second vessel to be sunk in just two days.

Precision Operation Captured on Audio and Video… Humanitarian Rescue for the Crew
According to the statement from the Yemeni Armed Forces, the operation was carried out using a drone boat and six cruise and ballistic missiles. The vessel was targeted as it made its way to the port of Umm al-Rashrash in occupied Palestine, leading to its complete sinking, with the entire operation documented by audio and video.
After the strike, a unit from the naval special forces moved to rescue several crew members, provided them with medical care, and transferred them to a safe location—a scene that combines military resolve with humanitarian responsibility and reflects Yemen’s commitment to the ethics of war and rules of engagement.
Escalating Maritime Deterrence: A Series of Operations Confirms Sana’a’s Seriousness
Moment the Yemeni Army Sinks the Ship “Magic Seas”
This operation follows previous maritime strikes, most notably the targeting and sinking of the vessel Magic Seas, announced by the armed forces just one day earlier. That attack was executed with two drone boats, five cruise and ballistic missiles, and three drones, targeting a ship that also violated the navigation ban to Zionist entity ports.
The rapid and precise recurrence of these operations proves that Sana’a has moved from warnings to firm implementation, as part of the previously declared “maritime deterrence” policy. Ships heading to the occupied ports have now become direct and declared targets for the Yemeni Armed Forces.
Armed Forces Statement: Clear Messages to the Entity and Global Companies
The military statement held the targeted ship and its company fully responsible, affirming that the strike was a result of resuming activity with the port of Umm al-Rashrash despite previous warnings. The statement further stressed that any vessel violating the ban—regardless of its destination or identity—will be considered a legitimate target for the Yemeni Armed Forces, wherever it may be.
The statement reiterated its stern warning:
“We repeat our warning to companies and countries against dealing with the Zionist entity and sending their ships to ports in occupied Palestine.”
Strategic Objective: Ending Aggression and Lifting the Siege on Gaza
The Yemeni Armed Forces confirmed that these military operations come in support of the valiant Palestinian resistance and in solidarity with the oppressed people of Gaza, aiming to force the Zionist entity to end its aggression and lift the unjust siege, as part of an escalating equation:
“We will continue our operations until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.”
Tangible Results… Sana’a Takes the Initiative
It has become clear that the Yemeni Armed Forces have gone beyond merely expressing support for Palestine; they now exert direct and effective pressure on the course of Zionist aggression—whether by disrupting navigation in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, or by targeting the entity’s infrastructure with hypersonic missiles and drones.
In Recent Days, Sana’a Proves the Zionist Entity is Powerless at Sea
In the past few days, Sana’a has demonstrated that the Zionist enemy is unable to protect its ships or respond effectively to Yemen’s focused strikes. The air raids it launched against Yemen two days ago achieved no objectives and amounted to nothing more than a desperate display, met with effective air defenses that forced the attacking aircraft to withdraw.
Decisive Maritime Equation: Sana’a Closes the Lanes to Zionist Ships
The strategic message of Yemen’s naval operations is clear: Safe passage for ships bound for the Zionist entity in the Red and Arabian seas is no longer possible. Yemen’s naval power is now a factor in the regional confrontation, possessing the will and capability to impose a reciprocal blockade in response to the siege on Gaza.
Furthermore, the repeated warnings and meticulously documented operations prove that Sana’a is waging its battle with calculated wisdom, supported by advanced technical and military capabilities, making it a key player in the regional deterrence equation.
