The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they had targeted the USS Truman in the Red Sea with missiles and drones, forcing it to retreat northward, and a vital Israeli target in Ashkelon.
The Yemeni Armed Forces issued the following statement:
“During the past hours, the American enemy committed two massacres: the first in Sana’a and the second targeting a shelter for migrants from several African countries in Saada province, northern Yemen. These massacres resulted in dozens of martyrs and wounded.
In response to this aggression and the massacres against civilians, the Armed Forces targeted the American aircraft carrier “Truman” and its escorting warships. A joint operation was carried out by the Naval Forces, the Drone Air Force, and the Missile Force using several cruise and ballistic missiles and drones over the past hours.
As a result of the clashes and confrontations, the aircraft carrier was forced to retreat and move away from its previous position, heading toward the far north of the Red Sea.
The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to target and pursue the aircraft carrier and all hostile warships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea until the aggression against Yemen ceases.
In support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their brave fighters, the Drone Air Force also carried out a military operation targeting a vital Israeli site in the occupied Ashkelon area using a drone of the “Yafa” type.
We continue, relying on Allah, to prevent Israeli navigation in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. We continue, trusting in Allah, to confront and resist American aggression. We continue, with confidence in Allah, to support and assist our steadfast brothers in the Gaza Strip until the aggression against them stops and the siege is lifted.”
