Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Houthi armed forces, said on Saturday that the Yemeni group launched an attack on a US warship.
The spokesperson for the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, said it targeted the USS Harry Truman with cruise missiles and armed drones in the Red Sea. The attack forced the carrier strike group to “leave the theatre of operations and flee to the far north of the Red Sea”.
Ansar Allah has been engaged in battles with the US and UK military for a year now, after the Yemeni group announced it would be stopping any Israel-linked ships from entering their territorial waters. Ansar Allah said the move was made in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
