Iran Press/West Asia: In a statement, Yemen’s Armed Forces described the operation as a direct response to an imminent threat from the US carrier in the northern Red Sea.
"The missile force and the drone force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative and joint military operation targeting the US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman with two winged missiles and four drones in the northern Red Sea, while they were preparing to launch a major air attack on our country. The operation led to the failure of the attack," the statement read.
Yemen also launched strikes on Israeli military positions, including two sites in Yaffa, near Tel Aviv, and another in Ashkelon.
"This afternoon, our forces carried out two military operations. The first targeted a military target belonging to the Israeli enemy in occupied Yaffa with two drones," the statement said, adding, "The other operation targeted a vital Israeli enemy target in occupied Ashkelon with a drone."
Later in the day, a third strike targeted another site in Yaffa using a drone. "The operations successfully achieved their goals," the forces said.
These attacks mark the latest in Yemeni operations against Israeli targets, which began in October 2023. These operations are in solidarity with the people in Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli genocide.
