The US will keep attacking Yemen’s Houthis until they end attacks on shipping, US defense secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday.
A Pentagon official denied Houthi claims that they have targeted the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman, according to Alhurra TV, noting that there is no evidence of any Houthi attack against the US warship.
Houthis claimed responsibility for a second attack in the Red Sea on Monday morning against the aircraft carrier US Harry S. Truman, after announcing their targeting of the aircraft carrier Sunday.
For his part, a US official revealed that US F-16 and F-18 fighter jets shot down 11 drones launched by the Houthis towards the Red Sea, after the Yemeni group announced its targeting of the US aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman.
