Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for launching 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, along with drones, aimed at the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea. The attack was labeled a direct response to 47 US airstrikes targeting rebel-controlled regions, which has heightened fears of broader conflict. Houthi spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree declared a readiness to target US naval assets in retaliation for American aggressions. The escalation coincides with their history of threatening international shipping routes and recent announcements to resume targeting vessels amidst ongoing regional tensions.
