In response to the US attack in Yemen, the USS Harry S Truman has attacked the Houthi rebels. At a press conference, the armed group spokesman Yahya Surrey said this. He said the warship was fired at the target of five missiles and drones. He also claimed that the ship was forced to move from Yemen's waters in the face of the attack.
In the last 24 hours, the Houthi rebels have been attacked by the United States warship. However, the United States has not yet commented on the Houthi attack.
Earlier, the United States launched a huge missile attack in Yemen last Saturday night. The USS Harry S Truman was attacked by several cities in Yemen. At least five people, including women and children, were killed.
The USS Harry Truman demanded a counter -attack on Sunday. However, the US army denied it. US officials said that about five drones were found in the Houthis. A drone in the warship did not hit. However, the United States has not yet responded to Monday's attack.
The US campaign against the Yemeni armed group continues, the United States said. The US Army has released a video of the attack on social media X. The caption states, “centcom troops have continued to campaign against the Iran -backed terrorist group Houthis.”
A US official told Reuters that the US campaign against the Houthis will last long. The expedition will continue throughout the month if needed.
Al-Masairah, a media outlet by the Houthi rebels, said US troops were launching a raid in Al-Jawf, the northern province of Yemen. According to Masairah, the United States has attacked the government building in Al -Hajm city. Earlier, the media reported two attacks at Hodeida port.
Yemeni state news agency Saba says most of the attacks are being carried out by targeting the command post of the Israeli ship Galaxy Leader seized by the Houthis. According to Saba, the United States has launched a two -point attack on the command post so far. In November 2021, the Houthi rebels hijacked the ship, including 20 crkers from the Red Sea. The 20 crew was held hostage for 5 days for the Houthis. The Houthi rebels released them after the ceasefire in Gaza on January 5. But the ship remains at the port of Hodeida.
The Houthis have been protesting against the Palestinians since the start of Israeli aggression in Gaza on October 7. Houthi rebels have attacked more than 300 trade ships in five months from November 2021 to April 2021. Before the Houthis' attacks, more than 20,000 ships sailed through the Red Sea a year. After the attack, the ship operates only 3,000 or less. About 5 percent of the United States and the UK ship now avoid this route. To reach the destination on the alternative route, the ships have to travel to Africa, which is why the ships have to travel more than 5 days. The cost of $ 1 million per trip has increased.
