Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a statement Tuesday night that Yemeni forces had carried out a military operation to target USS Harry Truman in the North Red Sea, equipped with missiles and drones.
“The Yemeni military has also targeted Vinson, a US aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, using three cruise missiles and four drones,” he said.
“The Yemeni forces also defeated another US MQ-9 Reaper drone while running hostile operations in coastal airspace in Hajah,” Sally said.
Yemenis has been attacking Israeli and American targets in support of Palestinians in Gaza on October 7, 2023, in response to the American and British attacks on their homeland.
The operation effectively shuts down Eilat Port south of the occupying area, causing a major economic setback for the Israelis.
Yemeni forces say they will not stop attacking Israel’s ground and air attacks at the end of Gaza.
