Yemen’s Houthi group announced on Monday that it targeted the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in the northern Red Sea, deploying two winged missiles and four drones. The group also claimed attacks on sites in Israel.
In a statement aired by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, military spokesperson Yahya Sarea declared that the group “carried out a qualitative military operation… while the American enemy was preparing to launch a major air attack on Yemen,” which he said had “failed” due to their operation.
Sarea further detailed that the Houthis conducted two attacks in the afternoon and another in the evening on Israeli sites. The targets included two military locations in Tel Aviv and a “vital target” in the city of Ashkelon, utilizing drones.
“We will continue our operations in support of the Palestinian resistance, and these operations will not stop until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted,” Sarea asserted.
As of now, neither the U.S. Army nor the Israel Defense Forces have commented on the Houthi claims.
