The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) targeted the flagship of the United States Navy Carrier Strike Group 8, the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, and other units, on Saturday.
Positioned in the northern Red Sea, the aircraft carrier has come under numerous attacks launched by the YAF. The Yemeni military has engaged multiple US aircraft carriers and vessels in the Red Sea after Washington deployed the warships in regional waters to disrupt the YAF's support to Palestine.
The spokesperson for the YAF Brigadier General Yahya Saree said that the latest attack was jointly conducted by the YAF's Rocket Force and Unmanned Air Force. He revealed that multiple one-way attack drones and cruise missiles were launched toward the strike group, marking the eighth attack targeting Carrier Strike Group 8.
Saree underlined that the operation came in response to the most recent massacres committed by the Israeli regime against Palestinians in Gaza and in response to American-British-launched assaults on Yemen.
He also warned hostile forces in the Red Sea against launching an aggression on Yemen during the ceasefire period in Gaza. Saree stressed that any aggression on Yemen will be responded to by top-tier military operations restricted by "no ceiling or red lines."
It is worth noting the YAF has launched a large-scale military campaign in support of the Palestinian people, focused on cutting off sea routes to the Israeli regime, as well as targeting military assets in occupied territories.
As of 8:30 AM (local time) on Sunday, a mediated ceasefire will take effect, ending a 15-month-long genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
