Yemeni Forces Target Saudi Battleship off Mokha Coast

A military source said the missile hit its target with high accuracy, pointing out it had targeted a gathering of military vehicles.

On the other hand, Yemeni Saba agency announced that a number of gangs leaders, affiliated with the coalition aggression forces, were killed and others were maimed in a rocket attack against their gathering at the presidential palace in Ma'rib city and Salb Mount (Jabal Salb).

They also have several corvettes, about nine patrol boats, and several minesweepers. All are fairly modern, and most of the ships are either US- or French-built.
