The Houthis (Ansar Allah) announced late on June 1 that they had carried out six operations targeting an aircraft carrier and destroyer of the United States along with three other vessels in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and as a response to recent American and British strikes on Yemen.
The group “targeted the American aircraft carrier, the Eisenhower, north of the Red Sea, with a number of missiles and drones,” military spokesman Brigade General Yahya Saree said in a statement, adding it was “the second targeting operation against the carrier during the past 24 hours.”
The spokesperson also said that four other operations targeted a U.S. destroyer and the Abliani ship in the Red Sea, along with “the Maina ship that has been targeted twice in the Red Sea and in the Arabian Sea as well.” Additionally, “the ship ALoraiq had been targeted in the Indian Ocean,” he added.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a detachment of the Royal Navy, reported on June 1 an incident 48 nautical miles southwest of the Houthi-held Yemeni province of al-Hodeidah where the vessel’s master witnessed an explosion a significant distance from the ship.
Later, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that its forces intercepted a Houthi drone over the southern Red Sea on June 1.
“CENTCOM forces also observed two other UAS crashing into the Red Sea,” the command said in a statement. “No injuries or damage was reported by U.S., coalition, or commercial ships.”
One the same day, CENTCOM forces engaged two Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles in the southern Red Sea. The command said that the missiles were fired “in the direction of USS Gravely and were destroyed in self-defense, with no damage or injuries reported by U.S., coalition, or commercial ships.”
“It was determined these UAS [Unmanned Aerial Systems] and ASBM [Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile] presented an imminent threat to U.S., coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region,” the command added, noting that its forces took action to “protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels.”
The Houthi, who are backed by Iran, have attacked dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the U.S. and the UK in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea since November in response to the Israeli war and siege on Gaza.
In addition, the group launched dozens of drones and missiles at the southernmost Israeli city of Eilat and shot down six American-made combat drones over Yemen and nearby waters.
The U.S. and the UK have carried out hundreds of strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since January in an attempt to deter the group and degrade its offensive capabilities, but to no avail. In fact, the Houthis’ two recent attacks on the U.S. aircraft carrier Eisenhower show that the group is getting bolder.

lets play a thought experiment. what a shame it would be if the russians gave the houthis everything that ukraine demanded
if the online video is real it is worse than the japanese defeat at midway. one hit one kill.
looks like that video was taken from a game and first part depicts small vessel (corvette/missile boat), if you’re speaking about night time video.
nice thought, however, russia does not have the funds to supply the houtis, iran, china, and the dprk with everything they need.
the us borrowed the funds to supply ukraine and europe has beggared itself to do the same. france’s debt rating was reduced only this last week from aa to aa-.
yeah but europ has the confiscated russ billionsto play with
they are all beggars and backstabblng @ss c0nts who are in desperate need of getting r@ped in the @ss during f0kking
to the luck of the americans and their friends no one of their enemys seems to be willing to do it.
yes work with your enemnies enemy. it will go around and come back to bite you in your mothers c0nt. chew it down and shyt it out for other yalla yallahs to eat. c0kk s0kker
with the slight diff that the huuties are g@y for iranian c0kk. that makes them super g@ayranians.
dobrá práca, ešte keby sa im podarilo dáku potopiť!!! svet by bol razom bezpečnejšie miesto. svetu mier!!!
first they ll try it with your mothers c0nt. if that works out they re good to go. c0nt it is!
its that time of the day when a gringo aircraft carrier is put to bed…to the bottom of the red sea!
its time we put your mothers c0nt to bed ater we gang r@ped her @ss into bleding rags. and her bottom too. than you have your very own red sea.
am i understanding correctly? they can target a carrier but they have not hit one yet?
the only bigger ships hit since world war two were the moskva sunk by probably british anti ship missiles while turkish drones and ukrainian missiles acted as a distraction, the brithis cole hit by a suicide attack in a port in the arab peninsula in the 90s, the us ship the israelis bombed pretending to be egypt to try to lure the us into the war and the british ship targeted with french exocet missiles by argentina during the falklands war. no air craft carrier since ww2.
belgrano? hezbollah also sank an israeli ship.
no, they sank their mothers c0nt.
calm down moshe. you are a walking talmud, full of shit and waste of space
worth remembering too that iran has hypersonic missiles. not saying that ansar allah has, but perhaps it is not an impossible scenario. one the us might care to think about next time they want to attack someone in the region.
yalla yalla has fooked its mothes c0nt one too many times.
wow. that got you a down vote from a g@y lgbtq+ mushlom
“moskva” wasn’t hit, it was blast from inside, old s-300 missile with malfunction. or a mine, because there are no visible signs of hit. you’ve mentioned about “sheffield” and “coventry”, one was hit by “exocet” (warhead not detonated) and another one by free-fall bomb. plus container ship “atlantic conveyor” rebuilt to use as helicopter and vtol “harrier” base, it was the biggest one by tonnage. i could also remember corvette “eilat” sunk by p-15 “termite”.
they are tiny dwarfs. can t look up very good. they are related to wild hogs and are hard to train.
they are too tiny… like seven dwarfs. they can t look up that high without step ladders.
go figure theese hootys…
absolutely top work houthis, keep harrassing/destroying/hitting enemy ships!
you brought her you keep her-assing
i would advise them to try to sink some ship of a partner of the usa, the brits or the french or so. to sink a murrican ship will probably cause the usa to lose their mind and go berserk on little yemen and kill thousands of them just to have their vengence despite them beeing the agressor in this case. yemen attacked isreal (without much impact) not the usa. if the israelis want to retaliate thats ok but the usa should not bomb a poor country to retaliate for someone else.
