Yemen Strikes US Naval Forces: Attacks on Destroyer and Aircraft Carrier in Red Sea

The ongoing conflict in Yemen has escalated, particularly concerning the involvement of American forces in the region. Recently, Yemeni Armed Forces announced significant developments, attributing the militarization of the Red Sea and the increase in confrontations to the actions of the United States. This article will delve into the latest updates surrounding the Yemeni forces’ operations and their implications for regional stability.

On Tuesday morning, Yemeni forces issued a statement asserting that the “American aggressor bears full responsibility for militarizing the Red Sea and expanding the scope of confrontation through its ongoing aggression against Yemen.” This statement highlights the growing tensions between Yemeni forces and U.S. military presence in the area.

According to the report from PressTV, the Yemeni Armed Forces claimed to have successfully targeted the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the northern Red Sea using:

  • Two cruise missiles
  • Two drones

Furthermore, the Yemeni forces also targeted a U.S. destroyer with:

  • One cruise missile
  • Four drones

The statement elaborated, saying, “The targeting of the aircraft carrier is the third in the past 48 hours.” This series of attacks has reportedly caused a state of confusion among U.S. military ranks, prompting many of their warships to retreat towards the northern Red Sea region. Additionally, an air assault that was being prepared against Yemen was reportedly thwarted.

The Yemeni Armed Forces emphasized their commitment to continue targeting all hostile forces in both the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea until their aggression ceases. “We will not cease targeting all hostile targets in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea until the aggression against the Arab country stops,” they declared.

Moreover, the statement from the Yemeni forces highlighted their readiness to confront any escalation by American and Israeli forces in the coming hours and days. They also reiterated a ban on Israeli-bound ships passing through the declared operational zone, which remains in effect until the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted.

This announcement coincides with recent claims from the United States regarding major airstrikes carried out across Yemen. This occurred on Sunday night, shortly after the Ansarullah resistance movement issued a warning that the Yemeni Armed Forces would target American aircraft carriers and warships in the region.

On Saturday night, the U.S. conducted large-scale military strikes on Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, and several other provinces, resulting in numerous casualties, including women and children. Reports indicate that:

  • American and British warplanes launched 47 airstrikes on various sites in Yemen.
  • Areas targeted included Sana’a, the northern province of Sa’ada, the central province of al-Bayda, and the southwestern province of Dhamar.
  • At least 31 people, mostly women and children, died as a result of these aerial and naval attacks ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The situation in Yemen has drawn international attention, particularly as Yemenis have openly declared their support for Palestine’s struggle against Israeli occupation. This solidarity has intensified since the onset of the devastating war on Gaza, which began on October 7, following a surprise retaliatory attack by Palestinian Resistance movements, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.

In summary, the conflict in Yemen continues to escalate, marked by significant military engagements between Yemeni forces and U.S. military assets. The Yemeni Armed Forces remain steadfast in their resolve to protect their sovereignty and respond to perceived aggressions, further complicating the already volatile situation in the region. As this conflict unfolds, it is crucial to monitor the developments closely, as they could have far-reaching implications for regional peace and security.
