Yemen Launches Missile Attack on USS Harry S. Truman Amid U.S. Aggression
The Yemeni armed forces have attacked the USS Harry S. Truman with 18 missiles in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes. Spokesman Yahya Saree condemned U.S. actions that led to civilian casualties. Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has reinstated a ban on Israeli ships after the deadline for Gaza aid expired, warning of potential strikes against Israeli-bound vessels.
On Sunday at 17:00 GMT, Yahya Saree, the spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces, condemned the recent actions of the United States in Yemen, stating that over 47 bombs had been dropped across various regions of the country. Saree emphasized that the Yemeni armed forces are committed to continuing their operations targeting U.S. military assets as retaliation for American aggression.
Saree reported that the Yemeni military had launched an attack on the USS Harry S. Truman, utilizing 18 ballistic and cruise missiles as a response to attacks that had resulted in the deaths of numerous civilians. This aggressive statement follows a significant bombing campaign by the United States and the United Kingdom against Yemen, which was purportedly intended to support Israel amid its offensive on the Gaza Strip.
Furthermore, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement, indicated the resumption of a ban on Israeli vessels. He had previously issued a four-day ultimatum for Israel to open Gaza’s crossings to allow humanitarian aid. With the deadline lapsed, Al-Houthi warned that Yemen would target any ships bound for Israel.
In summary, Yemen’s armed forces have reaffirmed their position against U.S. military involvement in the region, launching missiles at the USS Harry S. Truman in response to significant civilian casualties from airstrikes. This escalation coincides with a broader geopolitical context involving U.S. and U.K. actions in support of Israel amid its conflict with Gaza. Yemeni leadership has also reiterated a blockade on Israeli ships following the collapse of negotiations regarding Gaza aid access.
