Iran-backed Houthis claim second attack on US ships in 24 hours
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claim responsibility for a second attack on an American aircraft carrier group in 24 hours, calling it retaliation for US strikes.
A spokesperson for the group says that “for the second time in 24 hours,” Houthi fighters launched missiles and drones at the USS Harry S. Truman and several of its warships in the northern Red Sea.
The statement also vows to keep targeting Israeli vessels until the “siege” on Gaza is lifted.
