Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for launching multiple attacks on a US aircraft carrier operating in the Red Sea. According to a statement from the group’s military spokesperson, the attacks targeted the warship in response to continued American involvement in regional conflicts.
The Houthis, who have been engaged in a prolonged conflict with a Saudi-led coalition, did not provide evidence of the alleged strikes but insisted that their forces successfully launched missiles and drones at the US vessel. The group has previously targeted international shipping and military assets in the region as part of its strategy against what it calls foreign aggression.
The US military has not yet confirmed any damage to its warship, but officials have acknowledged the rising threat posed by Houthi attacks in the region. American and allied naval forces have intercepted multiple drone and missile threats in recent weeks as tensions in the Red Sea continue to escalate.
The latest claims from the Houthis highlight the growing risks to global shipping and military operations in the area. With the conflict showing no signs of de-escalation, concerns are mounting over the potential for broader confrontations involving international powers.
