Aden - The Houthis in Yemen have claimed responsibility for the recent attack on the U.S. aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea.

This marks the second time in less than a week that the Houthis have made such a claim.

According to Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree, the group conducted a coordinated operation involving two cruise missiles and four drones in the northern Red Sea. The attack was reportedly aimed at deterring a planned U.S. airstrike on Yemen.

The Houthis have also been involved in recent attacks on Israel, prompting retaliatory strikes by the Israeli Defense Forces.

Tensions in the region remain high as the Houthis continue to target U.S. warships and other strategic sites.
