Brigadier General Yahya Saria said the first operation targeted the British oil tanker Cordelia Moon in the Red Sea. According to reports, the ship was hit by a combination of eight ballistic and cruise missiles, a drone and a guided boat. As a result of the attack, the ship received significant damage.

The second operation was aimed at the Marathopolis ship in the Indian Ocean, which was hit by a cruise missile. The subsequent operation was again directed at the same ship, which was sailing in the Arabian Sea northeast of the Socotra archipelago. The third strike involved a drone, which reportedly scored a direct hit. Yemen's armed forces explained the military action as part of a broader effort to support the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.

On October 1, Sariya also announced that the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement had carried out attacks on Israeli military installations in Tel Aviv and Eilat. According to him, the Yemeni air force attacked a military target in the Jaffa area using a Jaffa drone, as well as military targets in the Umm al-Rashrash area in Eilat using four Sammad-4 drones.
