The Yemeni Armed Forces targeted the flagship of the United States Carrier Strike Group 2, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, in response to multiple American-British strikes on Yemen. 

In a statement, the spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced that the YAF's Rocket Force and Navy launched a composite strike on the aircraft carrier. 

The strike consisted of multiple anti-ship ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, which dealt direct and precise hits to the USS Eisenhower, Saree explained. The YAF's attack on US Navy assets deployed in the region comes in response to 13 airstrikes that targeted both civilian and military areas across Yemen, leading to 58 casualties. 

In detail, Saree said that the strikes in Hodeidah alone killed 16 people and injured another 41, including civilians and military personnel. 

Saree reiterated that the YAF will "not hesitate to directly and immediately respond to any renewed aggression on Yemeni soil."

The spokesperson said that the YAF would do so by attacking "all threatening and hostile American and British targets in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea."
