Yemen’s army and Ansarullah revolutionaries targeted another Saudi-Led coalition warship in Ta’iz province early on Saturday; the sixth Saudi vessel sinking in waters offshore Yemen in the last three months.
The targeted ship had repeatedly fired rockets on residential areas in the Yemeni province of Ta’iz, inflicting casualties and destruction there.
Reports said the warship, belonging to the Emirati Navy, was targeted and destroyed off Mukha coast in Ta’iz early this morning. Reports said there were casualties, but did not provide exact figures, adding that the Saudi-led coalition fleet present in the region rescued some of the naval forces.
The coalition warships usually deploy offshore Ta’iz to strike coastal targets, but they retreat from Yemen’s waters as soon as the Yemeni army and Ansarullah forces destroy one of their vessels.
Other Saudi battleships that were approaching Yemen’s coasts retreated fast following the attack.
The coast of Al-Mukha is located in Bab al-Mandab strait and the Saudi-led forces have been trying hard for several months now to win control over the coastal regions near the waterway.
