The Houthi rebels asked for another attack on a naval ship in the United States, calling it “reprisals” for Knocks us on Yemen.
A spokesman for Houthi said on Monday that the fighters launched 18 missiles and a drone at the “aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and his warships that accompany him”. The US military said it continued to target the group overnight.
It was the second strike of the American navy claimed by the group aligned by Iran in the last 24 hours, in the midst of a sudden increase in hostilities. After the Houthis declared last week, they would resume the targeting of expeditions linked to the Isra-Pavillon in the Red Sea due to The current blockade of Israel From Gaza, the United States has launched a series of large-scale attacks against Yemen during the weekend, killing dozens of people and injuring much more.
In a statement published on Telegram, Houthi spokesman said the attack was “in retaliation for the American aggression continues against our country”.
The United States has not responded to the claimed strike. However, the American central command has published a video on X saying that “the forces continue operations against Houthi terrorists supported by Iran”.

Citing local authorities, Saba also said that US forces had made strikes in a cancer establishment under construction in the city of Saada on Sunday, causing “general destruction”.
The Houthis, who control a large part of the poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula, have maintained a campaign targeting the lively sea road off the coast of Yemen while Israel bombed Gaza in the last 18 months.
The attacks affected world trade, forcing a large volume of maritime traffic between Asia and Europe far from the Suez Canal to make a much longer trip around Africa.
The group has interrupted its drone and missile attacks, which had targeted ships with tenuous Israeli ties when the ceasefire of Gaza was declared in January.
However, the Yemeni group said last week that it “resumed the passage of the passage of all Israeli ships” in the Red Sea due to the renewed blocking of Israel of the Palestinian enclave.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump ordered the US military to knock on the Houthis.
The attacks killed at least 53 people and injured much more, most women and children, according to the Reuters news agency. Most of the 40 raids targeted the province of Saada controlled by the Houthi, north of Sanaa.
