In response to the ongoing American-inflicted massacres in Yemen, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced a military operation targeting the USS Truman and its accompanying support vessels.

According to Saree, the operation involved coordinated strikes by the Yemeni Armed Forces' naval, drone, and missile units. The operation was executed using a combination of ballistic and cruise missiles, in addition to several UAVs, resulting in the withdrawal of the American aircraft carrier from the area.
