Following recent U.S. military strikes within Yemen, Houthi rebels, who are supported by Iran, have asserted they conducted two attacks targeting a United States aircraft carrier group over a 24-hour period. This announcement comes as the rebels prepare for planned rallies scheduled for Monday.
The U.S. strikes, authorized by President Donald Trump on Saturday, targeted areas including the rebel-held capital of Sanaa. Houthi representatives reported that these attacks resulted in 53 fatalities. These actions were undertaken in response to escalating Houthi attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea.
These disruptions have significantly impacted a crucial international trade route, causing considerable strain and prompting the U.S. intervention. The Houthi movement claims they retaliated against the U.S. military action by launching a series of strikes involving 18 missiles and one drone at the USS Harry S. Truman carrier group on Sunday. A second purported attack followed several hours later.
As of this report, the United States government has not issued an official statement regarding the Houthi claims of attacks against the aircraft carrier group. Further information is pending verification from U.S. sources.
