‘Second time in 24 hours’: Iran-backed Houthis claim another attack on US ships

(*24*)

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed duty on Monday for a second attack in 24 hours on the USS Harry S Truman and its accompanying warships in the northern Red Sea, calling it retaliation for US airstrikes.
A insurgent spokesperson mentioned that “for the second time in 24 hours,” Houthi fighters launched missiles and drones on the American service strike group.
The assaults observe US airstrikes on Sunday that focused Houthi positions in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, in addition to different provinces, together with Saada, the group’s stronghold close to the Saudi border.
The strikes resulted in not less than 53 insurgent deaths and over 100 accidents.
In response, the Houthi political bureau vowed to “meet escalation with escalation.” The group denied that its actions threaten worldwide delivery and reaffirmed its assist for Gaza.
While the rebels claimed to have focused the USS Harry S Truman, US officers advised the Associated Press they had been “not tracking anything.”
