The Yemeni Armed Forces announced Monday that they had successfully targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman for the second time within hours, in addition to thwarting a planned US airstrike on Yemen.
The YAF confirmed, in a statement delivered by its spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, that the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was targeted for the second time in 24 hours in the northern Red Sea, “with a number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones in an engagement that lasted for several hours.”
Saree described how the YAF succeeded in thwarting a hostile attack that the enemy ship “was preparing to launch against our country,” vowing that the YAF will continue to ban Zionist-linked ships from the Red Sea until the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted.
The spokesman alluded to the speech made by Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi wherein he warned that any continued US strikes would prompt a “broad and comprehensive response.” Saree announced that the YAF would move forward with implementing retaliation.
US warplanes launched two airstrikes today on a cotton gin in the Zabeid district of al-Hodeidah Governorate, in western Yemen.
Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi denounced the latest US airstrikes on Yemen, describing them as a “brutal and unjust aggression” aimed at “supporting the Israeli enemy.”
In a televised speech on Sunday evening, Sayyed al-Houthi stated, “The American enemy has launched a new attack on our country. This is a blatant and oppressive act of aggression, and its primary goal is to provide direct support to the Zionist regime.”
The aggression against Yemen follows the Yemeni Armed Forces’ announcement of the resumption of military action against all Zionist-linked vessels in a designated zone in the bodies of water surrounding Yemen.
A US-UK aggression targeted Yemen, striking the capital Sanaa several times on Saturday following the reinstatement of Yemen’s ban on Zionist ships passing through designated areas.

an updated toll showed that nearly 50 civilians were killed or injured in the US-UK aggression on the governorates of Sanaa and Saada. At least 25 civilians were martyred across Yemen and another 23 were injured in the strikes
