Yemen's Houthi group claims to have launched a bold attack targeting a U.S. aircraft carrier and Israeli military sites, escalating regional tensions amid the ongoing Gaza conflict. 🚨 The group said it fired two winged missiles and four drones at the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea on Monday, while also striking Tel Aviv and Ashkelon with drones—all in a single day.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea declared the operation disrupted a planned U.S. airstrike on Yemen, calling it a “failure” for American forces. He vowed to continue attacks “until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.” 💥
While the U.S. military and Israel Defense Forces haven’t confirmed the claims, the announcement adds fuel to fears of a widening conflict. Analysts warn the Red Sea—a vital global trade route—could become a hotspot for further clashes. 🌊
With over 115 Houthi-led attacks on ships since November, this latest move signals no slowdown. 🚢💣 Stay tuned as we track developments.
