The Houthis (Ansar Allah) announced on September 27 that they had attacked three warships of the United States Navy in the Red Sea in support of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon as well as in response to recent American and British strikes on Yemen.
The three warships were on their way to support “the Israeli enemy” when they were targeted with 23 projectiles, including ballistic and cruise missiles as well as suicide drones, Houthi military spokesman Brigade General Yahya Sarea said in a statement, alleging that the warships recivied “direct hits.”
The attack on the U.S. warships came just a few hours after the Houthis claimed responsibility for a missile attack that targeted the central Israeli city of Tel Aviv early on September 27.
“This operation coincided with the targeting of the depth of the Zionist entity in occupied Jaffa [Tel Aviv] and Ashkelon, which were targeted with a Palestine 2 hypersonic missile and a Jaffa drone,” Brig. Gen. Sarea said.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces, with the help of God Almighty, are ready to carry out more qualitative military operations in support of the Palestinian people and in support of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon, which is bravely confronting the American-backed Israeli aggression, in defense of Lebanon and in support of the Gaza Strip, and the operations will not stop until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted,” he added.
A U.S. official confirmed to Reuters that three U.S. warships came under attack while passing through the Bab al-Mandab Strait near Yemen.
The warships intercepted a number of projectiles, including missiles and drones, which were launched by the Houthis from Yemen, according to the unnamed official, who didn’t report any damage. The news agency noted however that the official was citing initial information, which can change.
According to CNN, the Houthis’ attack targeted the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers USS Spruance and USS Stockdale as well as the Freedom-class littoral combat ship USS Indianapolis.
Since November, the Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have attacked dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the U.S. and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in response to the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip.
The group also launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel and shot down at least nine 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. Israel also launched an attack against the Red Sea port of al-Hodeidah last July after a deadly Houthi drone strike on the city of Tel Aviv.
Despite killing more than 50 people in Yemen, the U.S.-led aerial campaign failed to deter the Houthis or degrade their military capabilities.

of course west didn’t report any damage just like zionists. they always gonna denied losses even when there are. i wait for houthis own reports.
typical of the zio terrorist regime and western regimes complicit in the genocide in palestine and of zionazi ziolensky to cover up many of military deaths and severe damage
hamas, hezbollah & houthis are the proxy armies of iran.. they all have attacked israel and israel is defending themselves as anyone would do..!
but israel killed much much much more than houthis
listen numbo go and look at how many civilians stalin killed over decades, and look at how many the spanish inquision from the jesuits viciously tortured to death over 400 years systematically throughout europe. go back to primary school and get an independent school education.
then don’t ever bring up the holocaust again, and stop extorting money from the german people, it was 4 generations ago. past wrongs do not in any way, shape or form justify israeli actions.
the only real holocausts that occurred were the j’s killing the europeans.
what about 26,6 million people of ussr murdered by nazis and over 30 million people in china and korea murdered by japanese fascists?
we also used to burn people for witchcraft, especially joos, should we go back to that custom? 🤡
isn’t it strange? america has “allies.” iran has “proxies.”
yes that is strange.
you’re thinking you’re not transparent is more strange although given the moderators gullibility in insulting the 8 billion normal people on the internet by publishing your ludicrous attempts at debate its no surprise
america is a corporation registered in delaware and puerto rico you little kiddies here don’t know the first thing, even the basic facts of anything and you’re so smug within your ignorance is bliss, that you havent a clue. all you do is accept msm fundamental propagandas as your belief system and then think you’re informed enough to be alternative. your complete fools straight out fools the 3 of you
and ive had one pc down vote score as 3 or 4 and even 6 here myself seen it myself
the icj issued a ruling stating israel has no right to self defense, that they should withdraw from gaza, the west bank and the golan within 12 months, and that the entire world would be in their right to intervene militarily to stop them continuing the bloodshed. ansarallah was vindicated in their just actions by the top justice court, made of judges from many countries, including us and israeli judges. so please stop peddling debunked hasbara talking points.
listen transparent tracy try getting out if you’re naming classification categories. your total lack of imaginations boring beyond belief.
14 yeah i’ve had one politically correct vote for wef score as 12 here myself hahaha
look at your transparent faked voting system how childishly obvious.
schizo recognize schizo
poor jens. what a tragedy for you that only an idiot moderator would accept your sickly attempts at insults
i am a weirdo and you weird me out
they never do that. they want to look like invincible ones.
hahaha yeah sure 29 votes hahahaha
too late yakhont missiles are going to houthis. they were the ones who hit the fueler near oman that was refueling one of the american carriers. the empire of american jewish nazis is going to be stretched until breaking point. we are the nations of the globe, and are no longer playing along with the american jewish suicide pact. program missiles to hit mossad here: 32°08’40.0″n 34°48’15.4″e hehehehe
that fafo moment is here for people who can’t take a hint in not murdering innocent people. people were so tight lipped about genghis khan’s death, it was probably really gnarly. i think some of our self proclaimed elites will give him a run for the money in gnarly deaths… the things that happen when you screw with everyone and go on a murdering spree.
my mighty lgbt mulatto amerikunt navy better than pygmy not taliban
wait a little longer. your time will come.
nah they have iran lol
iran can sende warship in red sea to yemen
pull out the hypersonic missiles and let them rain on tel aviv and haifa – the jews deterrent iron dome is built for missiles now outdated from a speed perspective, so hypersonic missiles will stand a better chance of penetrating the jews defences and cause havoc in marketplaces, knesset and netanyahus home and mossads hq. what’s not to like!
if the us were to allow zelenskyy to strike deep inside russia with atacms. it’s possible houthis might get land based versions of p-800 oniks and/or p-270 moskits operated by russian mercenary crews. doing around mach 3 these missiles can cover a couple of hundred kilometers in a couple of minutes giving cruisers & destroyers very little time to react. the result would be much worse than the “accident” suffered by the usns big horn.
i read russia and iran are negotiating giving houthis long range anti ship missiles, if ukraine is allowed long range strikes into russia. lol a carrier sinking would be a beautifull site.
hahaha the ai counting the votes is so corrupt
twenty three missiles and drones at 3 us destroyers. surely one got hit, if not all three. this is the tactic that will defeat them…one or two at a time won’t, unless it’s non stop for a couple days. iaf has hit beirut trying to assassinate nasrallah. massive strike. israel/us says they got him, iran and ksa say they didn’t. looks like israel is in for a massive retaliation. hit the kesset and say nutty was there. but be sure it is on the same scale as beirut attack. massive.
the knesset is a demonic structure funded by the roth frakenstein monster is ra hell hell is a counterfeit nation synagogue of satan
why are mossad and idf buildings still a safe space for the khazharian name stealers identity thieves?
fraud vitiates everything.
if the spokesman says there were direct hits he is not bluffing. and this is only the beginning🚀🚀🚀
satanists are screwed: middle east closed to us navy as putin gives bastion/hypersonic anti-ship system to houthis yakhont missiles, also known as p-800 oniks, are far better than houthis’ anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles. russian yakhont missiles are designed to skim the sea’s surface to avoid detection at more than twice the speed of sound, making it difficult to intercept.
sounds like a recipe for a sunken ship with an explosion at sea level in the hull. a last minute adjustment based on current sea level readings could mean total catastrophe for the target.
omg you’re so tragic.
you dead dreary dropkick dipstick cluedoo doo wouldn’t know satan from a pigs silk rear
i hope russia send the houthis some missile to bleed the americans!
course because this site is sponsored by soros. imo
čakám na ozaj dobrú správu, kedy sa husiom podarí potopiť konečne nejakú tú vojnovú loď. myslím, že by sa im už mohlo konečne niečo také podariť. rus by sa mohol o to postarať, veď majú čo oplácať bastardom z usa!!! tí isto majú na svedomí potopenie krížnika moskva. svetu mier a mysleniu zdar!!!
who profits!!? who is dr who. why did they name him that. wake up
it was the catholic poop and the anuz of london or anuz of satan … so you also sniff glue like me? we think alike
“all liars go to hell” and how come when it’s public knowledge that soros aided the holocaust did he never get charged as a war criminal? why haven’t mossad taken him out? why is england’s bankers best friend? how long untill he’s sir george? wake up. you’re not in the gang you’re just a disposable asset, you your families your descendants too stupid for words
oy vey! everybody is saying bad things about me! that’s not allowed! that’s anti semitic! can’t they see my holocaust membership card? just because i kill all those toddlers and do some swindling and pimping now and again, they call me names! it’s just outrageous! it’s anti semitic” shut it gown!
you can lie and cheat the goy for as long as you want! it is our divine right! and g-d favours us so we do it with all the grace and love in the world. remember this when you see antisemitism. they are antisemitic because they sense the threat of the future world and the jew is now king. now! my dear shlomo
why do you use wetern narative “hutis”? they are yemenis, and yemeni armed forces. real and legal yemeni government is only in saana, not in some hotel ehatever place, house, villa or palace in riyadh.
why do you use so many names? you wouldn’t survive as a pimp for rone second in the real world. every hooker would smell your ratty hole a mile away you’d do no better than you did trying to become a script writer.
nasrallah the rat was barbecued by israel 😂
its not confirmed…….even if they kill the leadership of every resistance movement, israel will still not defeat the resistance. why? zionists represent a degenerate sickness in the region. as long as they are oppressing people, there will always be resistance. its a really tough lesson to swallow for god’s chosen monkeys
