The military spokesman for the Houthis in Yemen reported that their group launched a second attack against a U.S. aircraft carrier in the northern Red Sea after the U.S. military conducted new airstrikes against Houthi targets. According to the Xinhua news agency, rescue operations were underway to search for people trapped under the rubble.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he had ordered decisive military action against the Houthis in Yemen, aimed at stopping attacks on American ships and drones. U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth assured that the bombings would continue until the Houthi aggression ceased.
For his part, Trump's national security advisor, Mike Waltz, mentioned that the recent attacks are targeting Houthi leaders and blamed Iran for aiding these groups in attacking U.S. forces. In response, the commander-in-chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard denied any involvement of his country in the Houthis' decisions.
The Houthi military spokesman declared that they had again attacked the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier with missiles and drones, thwarting a hostile attack against their country. They threatened to expand attacks to other U.S. vessels if U.S. airstrikes continued.
The U.S. attacks on Monday targeted a cotton dismantling factory in Zabid and the governor's building in Al-Jawf. According to the Houthi Ministry of Health, at least 53 people, including children and women, died in the bombings, and another 98 were injured.
