The Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen announced early on April 6 that they had prevented the United States from launching “aggressive attacks” in Yemen after targeting the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea.
Harry S. Truman and several other warships of the U.S. Navy were targeted with cruise missiles and suicide drones, Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a statement, adding that the aircraft carrier’s main supply ship was also targeted with a ballistic missile.
“The operation, which lasted for hours, prevented the enemy from launching aggressive attacks on our country during the targeting period,” the spokesman claimed.
“The armed forces [of Yemen], with God’s help, will continue to carry out their support and defensive operations until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted,” he concluded.
There was no comment from the U.S. Central Command, which resumed strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen on March 15 on orders from President Donald Trump in response to the group’s renewed attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
Late on April 5, a wave of U.S. strikes hit the northern province of Sadaa, the heartland of the Houthis, killing two people and wounding six others, according to the Al-Masirah TV.
The Houthi-run news channel reported another wave of strikes on the Red Sea island of Kamaran, which controlled by the group, early on April 6, without mentioning any casualties.
Since the start of the U.S. operation in Yemen, at least 69 people, including commanders of the Houthis and civilians, have been reportedly killed.
Despite taking some losses, the Houthis have been targeting USS Harry S. Truman on a near-daily basis. The group also stepped up its strikes on Israel in recent days, with a drone attack reported on April 4 and a dual missile attack reported the next day.

okayy to lets take stock so far. the combined might of the american jewish frankenstein has failed to defeat houthis and taliban. but they are keen on picking fights with russia, iran and china all at once. if that isn’t delusional hubris and chuzpah, you are simply not paying attention. grab the popcorn because this empire is going down faster than a tel aviv whore on shabbat
sink them. the finale solution they financed by family bush. they will terrorize humanity in eternity, if they are not taken down.
“in response to the group’s renewed attacks on shipping in the red sea.” s.f. this is a lie. tramp targeted and attacked yemen before yemen ever launched an attack. yes, they said they would resume the blockade, but there were no attacks before they were attacked by tramp. tramp launched so-called pre-emptive attacks…you know just like israel does. too bad iran doesn’t launch such an attack on israel. are they not planning to attack iran?
σωστοσ !!!
people are simple minded and brainwashed. wouldn’t know the time of day without a watch.
just a question. how far the truman is from yemen shores? how they could know where the carrier is?
