HOUTHI spokesman Yahya Saree outlined a series of attacks by their forces claiming to have targeted the US aircraft carrier Dwight D Eisenhower in retaliation for 'brutal aggression,' by the US and UK forces.
American officials however are firmly denying an attack and told a reporter for Politico they were not even aware of any activity in the area around the carrier, reports Fort Lauderdale's Maritime Executive.
The claim asserted that the 'missile force and naval force carried out a joint military operation' targeting the Eisenhower in the Red Sea. They said the attack was carried out with missiles and asserted it was 'accurate and direct.'
It was said to be in retaliation for the Israeli attacks on Rafah which reportedly killed 58 people as well as the attacks by US and UK forces overnight on the Houthi areas of Yemen. They are asserting that six US and UK strikes killed 16 people and wounded 41 others, including civilians.
US Central Command did confirm that US forces had identified additional threats from the Houthi. During the afternoon local time on May 30, they reported downing eight UAVs that had been launched over the Red Sea. The drones were said to be a threat to shipping but the US did not identify any vessels that might have been targeted.
