AhlulBayt News Agency: The Yemeni Armed Forces have launched an attack on the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier and its escorts in the northern Red Sea in retaliation for the continued US aggression and the destruction of its vital infrastructure.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen’s military, stated on Sunday morning that the hours-long operation involved coordinated strikes by naval, drone, and missile units.
He added that the attack was in response to “the US aggression” on Yemen, noting it was the last of its kind for the fourth consecutive week, using cruise missiles and combat drones.
Saree emphasized that Yemeni naval forces targeted a US Navy supply ship and the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier with a homegrown anti-ship missile.
He stated that Yemen’s leadership, people, and armed forces are committed to defending the Palestinian nation as a religious, moral, and humanitarian duty.
Saree said the Yemeni Armed Forces’ operations against the Israeli enemy, by preventing its navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas and targeting its military and vital facilities, will not stop until the aggression against Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted completely.
The new operation came after Yemeni forces targeted an Israeli military site in Tel Aviv using a Yafa-type drone.
In a statement, the operation was described as a victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and a response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Additionally, Yemeni air defenses successfully shot down a Giant Shark F360 reconnaissance drone that was conducting hostile missions over the northwestern Sa’ada province.
The US drone was downed using a domestically-made surface-to-air missile.
Meanwhile, the United States has pressed ahead with its aggression against Yemen, launching new airstrikes on various areas across the Arab country.
At least two people were killed and four others wounded when airstrikes by American warplanes hit a solar energy store and a house in the Hafsin area of Yemen’s northern city of Sa’ada late on Saturday.
Footage of the incident shows civil defense teams carrying out rescue operations and working to extinguish fires caused by the bombings.
US military aircraft also carried out at least five strikes east of the city of Sa’ada.
Kamaran Island, strategically located at the southern end of the Red Sea, was bombed five times as well.
Yemenis have been hitting Israeli and American targets in support of Palestinians in Gaza since the regime launched its devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, and in response to the American-British aggression on their homeland.
The operations have effectively shut down the Eilat port south of the occupied territories, causing significant economic setbacks for the Israelis.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.
