Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels say they launched an attack on an American aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, their fourth time firing on US warships in 72 hours.
The Houthis’ military spokesperson says the operation entailed “a number of cruise missiles and drones, targeting the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and a number of enemy warships.”
There is no immediate comment from American military officials on the claim.
