Houthi Terrorists Attack US Aircraft Carrier In Red Sea Following Trump-Ordered Airstrikes On Yemen

As both sides exchange threats and military action intensifies, the situation raises serious concerns over regional stability and global trade security.

Houthi terrorists attack USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea, escalating tensions after U.S. airstrikes in Yemen.


Houthi terrorists have claimed responsibility for an attack on a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, stating it was a response to airstrikes in Yemen ordered by President Donald Trump. The group’s military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, warned of continued retaliation, stating they would “meet escalation with escalation” following the U.S. strikes that reportedly killed at least 31 people on Saturday.

“The armed forces, with the help of God Almighty, carried out a qualitative military operation targeting the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and its accompanying warships in the northern Red Sea, using 18 ballistic and cruise missiles and drones in a joint operation carried out by the missile force, Drone Air Force, and the naval forces,” Saree said in a statement.

“To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!”

U.S. officials confirmed on Sunday that multiple Houthi leaders were killed in the airstrikes. Reports from Yemen indicated that explosions were heard in the capital, Sanaa, and the northern province of Saada on Saturday evening, with additional strikes occurring early Sunday.

The Houthi-run Health Ministry reported 31 casualties, including women and children, with an additional 101 people wounded. Anees al-Asbahi, a spokesperson for the ministry, confirmed the toll, emphasizing the impact on civilians.
