Yemen’s spokesperson Yahya Saree announced the targeting of USS Harry S. Truman with 18 missiles in response to U.S. airstrikes that have reportedly killed dozens. The Yemeni armed forces affirmed their commitment to counter U.S. military assets. Abdul-Malik al-Houthi indicated a continuation of Yemen’s ban on Israeli ships.
On Sunday at 17:00 GMT, the spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces, Yahya Saree, addressed recent military actions, stating that over 47 bombs had been dropped on various locations in Yemen by what he referred to as American hostile forces. Saree emphasized that the Yemeni forces are resolute in their commitment to continue targeting U.S. military assets in the region.
In an act of retaliation against U.S. aggression, the Yemeni army launched 18 ballistic and cruise missiles directed at the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman. This escalation follows a series of airstrikes conducted by the United States and the United Kingdom, aimed at bolstering support for Israel amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement, announced earlier on the same day his intention to deliver a speech and reminded listeners about Yemen’s ban on Israeli ships. He issued a warning targeting any vessels bound for Israel following the expiration of a four-day deadline imposed on Israel to reopen Gaza’s crossings for humanitarian aid.
The situation in Yemen remains tense following recent military escalations. The Yemeni armed forces have expressed a firm resolve to retaliate against U.S. military assets while condemning actions that lead to civilian casualties. The ongoing conflict involves international dimensions, including support for Israel, which complicates the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and the Gaza Strip.
