Times Of Israel: Houthis claim attack on American warships; US scoffs they missed by ‘over 100 miles’
The Houthis have launched their third attack on American warships in 48 hours, targeting the USS Harry S. Truman carrier group with missiles and drones. Despite U.S. airstrikes aimed at the rebels, protests erupted in Yemen, with demonstrators expressing solidarity with Palestinians and defiance against the U.S. and Israel.
U.S. officials have dismissed Houthi claims of successful attacks, noting significant inaccuracies in their targeting. The Pentagon has vowed to continue strikes until the Houthis cease their aggression in the Red Sea, while Iran condemned the U.S. actions and defended its involvement in the region.
