Yahya Saree, spokesman for Yemeni forces, announced the targeting of the USS Harry S. Truman with 18 missiles in response to U.S. airstrikes on Yemen. He accused the U.S. of bombing civilians and vowed to continue attacks on U.S. military assets. Abdul-Malik al-Houthi reiterated Yemen’s stance against Israeli ships amidst the Gaza conflict.
On Sunday at 17:00 GMT, Yahya Saree, spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces, addressed recent conflicts involving the United States. He claimed that the U.S. had dropped over 47 bombs across Yemen, emphasizing, “The Yemeni armed forces will not hesitate to continue targeting U.S. military assets in the region.” The statement comes amidst escalating tensions as Yemeni forces retaliated with 18 ballistic and cruise missiles aimed at the USS Harry S. Truman.
Saree accused the U.S. of committing significant atrocities in Yemen, resulting in numerous civilian casualties. This attack is viewed as retaliation for the U.S. and U.K.’s extensive bombing campaign supporting Israel amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza. Furthermore, Yemeni leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned of renewed actions against Israeli shipping after the expiration of a deadline intended to reopen Gaza crossings for humanitarian aid.
Al-Houthi had previously set a four-day deadline for the Israeli regime to allow aid into Gaza, signaling Yemen’s strong stance against Israeli interests in the region. He indicated that Yemen would target any vessels bound for Israel, underscoring the continued escalation of hostilities in the area, fueled by international involvement.
The situation in Yemen remains tense, with the Yemeni armed forces vowing to retaliate against U.S. military actions. Yahya Saree’s statements reflect ongoing frustrations over U.S. and U.K. interventions, while Abdul-Malik al-Houthi’s remarks underscore Yemen’s opposition to Israeli activities in the region. The targeting of U.S. military assets highlights the escalation of hostilities amid the backdrop of conflict in Gaza.
