Yemen's Houthi militia claimed responsibility for six operations targeting US naval vessels in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. According to Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree, the Iranian-backed group launched missiles and drones at the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier, a US destroyer, and three other vessels. These actions are reportedly in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The Houthis have been attacking ships in the region for months, disrupting shipping routes and causing significant logistical challenges. The US and other nations are monitoring the situation closely.
