DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Yemen’s Houthis launched a missile attack on the US aircraft carrier Eisenhower in the Red Sea in response to US and British strikes on Yemen, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree says.
Six US and British strikes have killed 16 people and wounded 41, including civilians, Saree says in a televised statement.
Strikes in the province of Hodeidah targeted the port of Salif, a radio building in Al-Hawk district, Ghalifa camp, and two houses, Saree says.
The US and British militaries said they launched strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on Thursday to deter the militant group from further disrupting shipping in the Red Sea.
The US Central Command said US and British forces had hit 13 targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
