[ColonelCassad] During Trump's visit to the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the United States, significant damage to the ship's hull was concealed behind a large flag.
The Houthis are clearly hinting that this is likely the result of a missile or drone strike, which they fired at the USS Harry S. Truman several times and claimed to have hit the carrier.
Yemeni armed forces, controlled by the Houthis, carried out three military operations, one of which targeted the US aircraft carrier, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Sari reported on Telegram.
The targets of two strikes were Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv and a power plant south of Jerusalem, the statement added. Another joint operation by Yemeni naval, missile, and air forces targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman. Al Mayadeen TV, citing Yahya Sari, clarified that the attack was carried out using missiles and drones. (c) December 31, 2024
| I can’t find anything about this in the Rantburg archives, which suggests that as usual the Houthis did not hit their targets, probably because they missed the country. |
