The Yemeni Armed Forces said on Tuesday morning that they successfully targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the northern Red Sea with two cruise missiles and two drones.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced yet another attack on US forces in the Red Sea region, utilizing missiles and drones to prevent an imminent American assault on the Arab country.
The Yemeni forces said in a statement on Tuesday morning that the American aggressor bears full responsibility for militarizing the Red Sea and expanding the scope of confrontation through its ongoing aggression against Yemen.
“Over the past few hours, the Yemeni Armed Forces have successfully targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the northern Red Sea with two cruise missiles and two drones, and targeted a US destroyer with a cruise missile and four drones,” the statement said.
“The targeting of the aircraft carrier is the third in the past 48 hours. The enemy was struck by a state of confusion, which prompted many of its warships to retreat towards the northern Red Sea region, and an air attack that was being prepared against our country was thwarted,” it added.
The Yemeni Armed Forces warned that they will continue targeting all hostile forces in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea until their aggression ends.
The forces affirm that they will not cease targeting all hostile targets in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea until the aggression against the Arab country stops.
The Yemeni statement said that the armed forces are ready to confront any American and Israeli escalation in the coming hours and days.
The statement further emphasized that Yemen’s armed forces will maintain the ban on Israeli-bound ships passing through the declared zone of operations until the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted.
This came as the United States claimed to carry out major airstrikes across Yemen on Sunday night, hours after the Ansarullah resistance movement warned that the Yemeni Armed Forces would target the American aircraft carrier, and warships in the region.
On Saturday night, the US carried out large-scale military strikes on the Yemeni capital Sana'a and multiple other provinces across the country, leaving dozens of people, including women and children, killed and injured.
American and British warplanes launched 47 airstrikes on several sites in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a as well as on areas in the northern province of Sa’ada, the central province of al-Bayda, and the southwestern province of Dhamar.
At least 31 people, mostly women and children, were killed in the aerial and naval attacks ordered by US President Donald Trump.
