Description:

The Yemeni Houthi group said Wednesday it launched an attack targeting the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and accompanying warships in the northern Red Sea.

In a televised statement, military spokesman Yahya Saree said the attack involved several cruise missiles and drones, saying the attack successfully hit its targets.

Saree said the attack was in response to what he called the US Navy's attempts to target Yemen.

This marked the sixth reported attack by the Houthis on the US carrier within a month.

“This is the sixth strike on the carrier since it entered the Red Sea nearly a month ago,” Saree said, without providing further details.
