The Houthis attempted an attack on aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) and its escorts in response to a series of U.S. attacks on targets in Yemen earlier this month, according to the group, US Naval Institute News reports.
In a post on X, Houthi spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Sare’e claimed the Iran-backed group used 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as one drone, to attack the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group in the northern Red Sea. U.S. Central Command did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the attacks from USNI News.
