Earlier today, the Houthis said they conducted two military operations against US naval vessels in the Red and Arabian seas which the group’s military spokesperson said lasted for eight hours.
Pentagon spokesperson Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder says that two US warships were attacked yesterday by at least eight drones, five anti-ship ballistic missiles and three anti-ship cruise missiles. The warships brought down the projectiles and there was no damage to the vessels.
Ryder says he is not aware of any attacks against the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln.
