On March 16, 2025, Yemen’s Houthi group claimed they launched a retaliatory attack against the USS Harry S. Truman, a U.S. aircraft carrier stationed in the Red Sea. According to a statement from Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree, the assault involved 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, along with drones, targeting the carrier and its accompanying military vessels. The Houthis described this operation as a response to recent U.S. airstrikes on their positions in Yemen, which they allege killed dozens. The attack was reported to have occurred on Sunday, March 16, though specific details about the timing and outcome remain unclear.
