This was reported by Yahya Sari, a representative of the Houthis armed forces, on Sunday, March 16.

According to Sari, the attack on the aircraft carrier was a response to the US aggression, which carried out more than 47 airstrikes on several Yemeni governorates.

"Statement by the Yemeni Armed Forces regarding the implementation of a special military operation targeting the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman with 18 missiles and a drone," Sari writes. 

As a reminder, on Saturday, March 15, the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, ordered the country's armed forces to strike at the Houthis in Yemen. 

Earlier, in January, Ukraine evacuated Ukrainian sailors who had previously been released from captivity by Yemen's Houthis.
