At least 10 Yemeni forces were killed on Sunday when US forces struck their boats in the southern Red Sea, AFP reported citing two sources at Yemen's Hodeida port. 

The US military earlier said it had destroyed several small boats operated by the Yemenis after they attacked and tried to board a container ship, the AFP further claimed.

Over the past month, the Yemeni Resistance movement and Yemen's Armed Forces have been staging missile and drone attacks against vessels heading towards Israeli ports in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which has come under an unrelenting genocidal Israeli war.
