Sanaa, March 26
Yemen's Houthi group said on Wednesday that it had launched fresh attacks on a US aircraft carrier in the Red Sea and "military targets" in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
"Our forces launched missile and drone attacks over the past few hours, targeting American warships in the Red Sea, including the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, from which the aggression against our country is launched," Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a statement aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.
"The confrontation and engagement continued for several hours," he said, vowing to confront the ongoing US airstrikes on Houthi-held areas in northern Yemen.
There was no comment yet from the US military, news agency reported.
The Houthi military spokesperson said that his group also launched a fresh attack on Israel in the past few hours.
"In support of the Palestinian people in Gaza, we targeted military targets in Tel Aviv, using several drones," he said, pledging to continue targeting Israeli cities and Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea until "the war on Gaza stops."
Late Tuesday night, al-Masirah TV reported seven US airstrikes on Saada province, the Houthis' main stronghold in northern Yemen. There were no reports of casualties.
