Yemen strikes US aircraft carriers, downs US MQ-9 drone
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i Armed Forces have announced the downing of a US MQ-9 Reaper drone over Hajjah Governorate, marking the seventh such incident this month. They also launched missile and dronezaps targeting US aircraft carriers in the Red and Arabian Seas.

The Yemeni Armed Forces issued the following statement:

''As part of confronting the American aggression against our country, and in support and backing of the Paleostinian people and their fighters:

Our air defenses, by the grace of Allah, succeeded in downing a hostile American aircraft of the MQ-9 type while it was carrying out hostile missions in the airspace over the coasts of Hajjah Governorate.

The aircraft was shot down with a locally made surface-to-air missile. It is the seventh aircraft of this type to be downed by our air defenses during the current month of April, and the 22nd during the Battle of the Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad in support of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The missile force, the Air Force (drone unit), and the naval forces carried out two military operations targeting the two American aircraft carriers ''Truman'' and ''Vinson'' and their affiliated warships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, using a number of cruise missiles and drones.

The Armed Forces, while confronting the aggression, affirm that their military position today is better than it was weeks ago. With Allah's help, they have benefited from all developments, succeeded in impacting the enemy's movements, thwarted many of its attacks and aggressions, and will continue to respond responsibly and appropriately to any developments in the coming days and on all fronts—relying on Allah and trusting in Him.

They will not cease in their support and backing of the oppressed Paleostinian people until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege on it is lifted.''

"They will not cease in their support and backing of the oppressed Paleostinian people until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege on it is lifted."

They are going to need to find another hobby when Gaza in its entirety is bulldozed into the Med.

Inhuman conditions on Truman!

She refuses to quit,'
Claimed one stencil and brush-wielding crewman.
Er, crewperson. Or how about seafairer?"
