The Yemeni armed forces launched an attack on the USS Harry S. Truman with 18 missiles, in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes that resulted in numerous civilian casualties. Spokesman Yahya Saree emphasized ongoing attacks against U.S. military targets, as tensions rise amid U.S. and U.K. bombing campaigns supporting Israel. Abdul-Malik al-Houthi announced a renewal of Yemen’s ban on Israeli ships following failed humanitarian access to Gaza.
On Sunday, a significant escalation occurred as the Yemeni armed forces claimed to have launched an attack against the USS Harry S. Truman. Spokesman Yahya Saree reported that 18 ballistic and cruise missiles were used in this retaliation against the United States, which he described as the “enemy.” The attack was in response to recent airstrikes in Yemen, where over 47 bombs were reportedly dropped by U.S. forces.
Yahya Saree emphasized that the Yemeni armed forces are committed to targeting U.S. military assets in the region, indicating no intention to cease these actions. He labeled the U.S. actions as an aggression that resulted in numerous civilian casualties, with reports of countless deaths from the latest bombings.
The backdrop of these events includes a larger coalition bombing campaign initiated by the United States and the United Kingdom, aimed at supporting the Israeli forces amidst their ongoing operations in the Gaza Strip. This military context highlights the complexity of regional conflicts and foreign military interventions.
Separately, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Ansarullah movement, announced Yemen’s reinstatement of a ban on Israeli ships. This decision follows a deadline that was set for Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, indicating Yemen’s readiness to engage further in military actions against any vessels bound for Israel.
The recent missile attack by the Yemeni armed forces on the USS Harry S. Truman marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict in the region. Spokesman Yahya Saree has declared that there will be continued targeting of U.S. military assets as a response to U.S. airstrikes in Yemen. Coupled with the backdrop of recent U.S. and U.K. military campaigns to support Israel, these events highlight the fragility of regional stability and the complexity of international relations in the area.
