The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced that their missile and drone forces carried out a strategic joint operation targeting the American aircraft carrier deployed to the Red Sea, USS Harry S. Truman.
According to YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, Yemen's air and missile forces launched several cruise missiles and drones targeting the USS Truman and its accompanying warships in the northern Red Sea.
The statement noted that the operation comes in response to the American aggression against Yemen and in retaliation for crimes committed against the Yemeni people.
"The enemy failed to deter Yemen's military capabilities, as evident through the continued defensive operations," the YAF noted, stressing that their forces would continue carrying out land and naval operations in defense of their nation.
The Armed Forces also saluted the "great Yemeni people for their honorable, massive turnout in al-Sabeen Square and all public squares, reaffirming their rejection of the American aggression and their determination to confront and resist it as a form of jihad in the path of God, fulfilling their religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed Palestinian people."
"The enemy will come to realize, sooner or later, that the steadfast, resistant people of Yemen will never submit or bow to anyone but Allah, the Almighty and All-Powerful, in Whom we place our trust and from Whom we seek help," the statement concluded.
