Yemeni Houthis from the Ansar Allah rebel movement have launched their third strike on the US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea in 48 hours in response to US strikes on Yemen. This was announced by Yahya Saria, a representative of the armed forces formed by the Houthis, in his Telegram channel.

It is noted that the attack was carried out using two cruise missiles and two drones. In addition, the Houthis also attacked an American destroyer with a cruise missile and four UAVs.

Saria said on March 16 that the USS Harry Truman and its accompanying ships were attacked using 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as a drone. According to him, the Houthis will continue attacks on American warships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and will also block the passage of Israeli commercial vessels through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait until Israel resumes humanitarian aid supplies to the Gaza Strip.

On March 15, the US Armed Forces, on the orders of President Donald Trump, began to launch massive strikes on the territory of Yemen, which is under the control of the Houthis. According to the Central Command of the US Armed Forces, the operation is aimed at protecting American interests and ensuring freedom of navigation. tass.ru.
