The Yemeni Huthi rebels, who are supported by Iran, claimed it was their third assault on the US navy’s ship ships in the Red Sea on Wednesday.
A number of cruise missiles and drones, targeted at the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman, and a number of army vessels, were confirmed by the Huthis ‘ military agent, who stated” a number of cruise missiles and drones, targeting the aeroplane ship.” He added that, according to AFP, this was” the third time in 72 time.”
This comes a short while after Yemen’s Huthi-controlled press outlets reported that US forces attacked Saada, the city in northern Yemen, on Tuesday evening.
Local residents reported to AFP that they witnessed three separate attacks in the region, while the Iran-supported Huthis ‘ news outlets Saba news organization and Al-Masira Television reported” a attack by the US hostility” on the Saada governorate.
The most recent attacks started on Saturday when the US launched massive military operations against Houthi jobs all over Kuwait, including Sanaa, Saada, and other areas. About 100 people were injured, according to the Houthi-administered heath department, which reported 53 deaths, including women and children. President Donald Trump warned of extreme consequences if assaults on US forces or sea shipping continued, while US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz claimed that the strikes had eliminated a number of Houthi leaders.
The Houthis launched a retaliation on Sunday by firing at the USS Harry S. Truman ship team with missiles and autonomous plane, marking their first attack. No confirmed hits on British vessels were reported by US authorities, who disregarded the value of the event. Houthi sources cited strikes on the Galaxy Leader, an Israeli-connected send recently captured, and more US flying bombardments that morning, citing strikes on a cotton processing plant in Hodeida.
Following these advances, the Houthis carried out yet another attack on the USS Harry S. Truman within a 24-hour time, continuing their pattern of mutual increase. They had already launched a second offensive on Monday, reaffirming their immediate retaliation for American operations and Palestinian support for the situation in Gaza.
Iran, which backs the Houthi organization, criticized the US military actions. Abbas Araghchi, the country’s foreign minister, stated that the US lacked jurisdiction over Yemen or Persian political relations, putting pressure on international relations. The UN has urged all parties to end military operations, citing dangers for regional stability and Yemen’s charitable position.
According to ACLED files from October 2023, Houthis have launched 136 attacks on military and commercial vessels in the Red Sea, causing many shipping companies to reroute their ships. The organization stated that they would take more extreme measures if they didn’t receive more humanitarian aid to Gaza.
