Yemenis Say They Attacked British Destroyer in Red Sea

In a statement on Sunday, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said that the strike was "accurate" but did not say whether it had caused any damage.

The Yemeni military spokesman also said the army attacked two commercial vessels, which they identified as the Norderney and Tavvishi.

The Tavvishi, which was in the Arabian Sea, and the Norderney had both been hit, and that a fire broke out on the Norderney, according to the statement.

However, a spokesperson for the British Ministry of Defense later dismissed the group's statement, saying that "these claims are untrue."
