Yemen reported that the Verbena ship they attacked on June 13 sank in the Gulf of Aden. The Verbena ship sank in the Gulf of Aden after being attacked by several missiles
Yemen attacked three vessels in the Red and Arabian Seas in the past 24 hours using ballistic missiles and drones. The Ukrainian-owned cargo ship Verbena caught fire after the strike.
Yemen added that the Tutor ship, which was also attacked in the Red Sea, could begin to sink in the coming hours. The US Central Command said that the crew of Verbena was evacuated from the ship due to fire and inability to extinguish it.
On June 13, Iranian-backed Yemen struck M/V Verbena, a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, Polish-operated bulk cargo carrier in two separate missile attacks.
Today, at approximately 1:45 p.m. (Sanna time), the crew issued a distress call indicating they were abandoning the ship.
The US military noted that Iranian frigate IRIN Jamaran, which was eight nautical miles from the Ukrainian cargo ship at the time, did not respond to the distress call.
Yemen has been launching attacks on commercial and military vessels in the region for months, in response to Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip.
The attacks prompted the United States to form a multinational coalition to protect shipping in the area, as well as to strike Yemeni targets on the ground, but the Germany navy already left the useless Zionist mission.
