Houthi forces claim to have successfully prevented US airstrikes on Yemen by attacking the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman.

Al Mashira reported that on January 6, the Houthi forces announced a successful attack targeting the US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the southern Red Sea.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the attack used two cruise missiles and four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to disrupt preparations for further US airstrikes on Yemen.

Also on January 6, the Houthis revealed more information about a series of attacks on targets in Israel. Most of the attacks used UAVs and targeted many Israeli military sites in the Jaffa area.

However, the Houthis did not specify the time of the strikes or the results of the Israeli and US airstrikes, nor did they reveal the damage. Mr. Saree only said the attacks had “caused a significant impact.”

The US and Israel have yet to respond to this statement.

According to TASS, since the war in Gaza broke out on October 7, 2023, Houthis have announced that they will attack and hinder Israeli cargo ships when moving through the Red Sea - an important waterway of the world - to show support for the Palestinian people and their ally Hamas.

In late November 2024, the Houthis continued to increase their attacks on civilian ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The Houthis are backed by Iran and are not an official Yemeni armed force.

To ensure freedom of navigation and security in the Red Sea, Operation Prosperity Protection was quickly deployed by the US and its allies. The US military deployed a series of fighter jets, warships, and submarines targeting Houthi military targets in Yemen to neutralize their attack capabilities.

On December 14, 2024, the US dispatched the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman to the Middle East to ensure security and stability in the region.

USS Harry Truman, codenamed CVN-75, is considered one of the largest aircraft carriers in the world with a length of about 332 m and a width of about 76 m. The US put CVN-75 into service in 1998.

Thanks to its two nuclear reactors, the USS Harry Truman can travel at a speed of 30 knots (equivalent to 56 km/h). The aircraft carrier is also equipped with many modern weapons and can transport up to 90 fighter jets.
